Tough enough for high-volume bars and home bars alike, this Boston shaker has been hand-selected and tested by professional bartenders to be the highest quality and best shaker available. Two weighted shaker tins are the classic choice for the “bartender’s” Boston Shaker. Perfect for the experienced bartender and the ideal choice for flair. A solid, watertight seal is both strong and easy to open. Use the shaker for shaken drinks like Margaritas, Daiquiris, and Mojitos, or the bottom tin for stirred drinks like Martinis, Manhattan, or Old Fashioned. The tins also nest inside each other for low-profile storage when not in use.
