How to use a Cobbler Shaker
A cobbler shaker is the easiest style to use and therefore the most commonly seen in at-home bar kits. It has everything you need to shake and strain so just follow these easy steps.
1
Assemble ingredients in base of shaker, then fill with ice.
2
Fit shaker with strainer top and cap to seal.
3
Hold base of shaker firmly with one hand and top of shaker firmly with other hand. Using vigorous back-and-forth motion (ice should hit both ends of shaker), shake cocktail for amount of time specified in recipe.
4
Remove cap (you may need to loosen by gently tapping on counter) and decant cocktail into chilled serving glass, using conical strainer to double-strain if directed.
