Cobbler Cocktail Shaker vs Boston Cocktail Shaker: What’s the Difference?

Cocktail shakers are essential tools for any home bartender, and they come in a variety of styles. Two popular types are the Cobbler shaker and the Boston shaker. While both can be used to mix drinks, there are some notable differences between them. In this article, we will discuss the differences between a Cobbler Cocktail Shaker and a Boston Cocktail Shaker.

Cobbler Cocktail Shaker

The Cobbler shaker is the more traditional of the two and is composed of three pieces: a tumbler, a lid with a built-in strainer, and a cap that fits over the strainer. The tumbler usually has a smaller capacity than the Boston shaker, making it ideal for single drinks or small batches. The Cobbler shaker is also easier to use for beginners, as the built-in strainer eliminates the need for additional tools to strain the cocktail.

RhinoRoo's Cobbler Cocktail Shaker Set is a perfect example of a well-designed and high-quality set. The set includes a 700 milliliter 3-Piece Cobbler shaker with a built-in strainer, 2 pourers, engraved 15/30 milliliter double jigger, mixing spoon, muddler, corkscrew, ice tongs, and a strainer. Made from premium quality 304 grade stainless steel, this bartender set is durable, rust-resistant, and leak-proof. Additionally, RhinoRoo's Cobbler Cocktail Shaker Set comes with an EBook user guide and Australian cocktail recipe cards to help elevate your bartending skills.

Boston Cocktail Shaker

The Boston shaker consists of two parts: a mixing tin and a separate smaller tin or glass. The mixing tin is typically larger and holds more volume than the Cobbler shaker, making it ideal for mixing larger batches or multiple drinks at once. The smaller tin or glass is used to cap the mixing tin and create a seal for shaking. A separate strainer, such as a Hawthorne or fine mesh strainer, is required to strain the cocktail.

RhinoRoo's Boston Cocktail Shaker Set is a professional-grade set that includes a unique 30/60 milliliter metric jigger featuring 15, 20, 30, and 45 milliliter engraved internal measurements, 780/550 milliliter cocktail mixer tins, a 25 centimeter muddler, 2 pourers, mixing spoon, ice tongs, fine mesh and Hawthorne strainer. The Boston tins are specifically designed to unstick effortlessly due to their deeper seal, making them easier to use than other cheaper sets on the market. Additionally, they are 60% thicker than other sets on the market, which means no sharp edges or warping. The highly polished natural silver color of the Boston tins will never fade or flake off like artificially colored cocktail kits.

In terms of ease of use, the Boston shaker may require more skill and practice to use properly than the Cobbler shaker, but it is also more versatile and can hold larger volumes of liquid.

Which one should you choose? 

When it comes to choosing between the two shakers, it really depends on personal preference and skill level. If you're a beginner, the cobbler shaker might be the better choice for you, while if you're more experienced, the Boston shaker might be a better fit. Both shakers have their own unique features and advantages, and it's up to you to decide which one works best for you.
