Cocktail shaker is used in bars to mix drinks (like Cocktails, Mocktail) by shaking. It is
basically made of stainless steel, plastic, glass.

vigorously shaking and mixing the drink, shakers allow for easy pouring into the customer
glass.

There are three varieties of cocktail shakers are there

A) The Boston shaker: A two-piece shaker consisting of a 28 imp fl oz (800 ml) metal bottom

prepared, small holes in the strainer allow only drinks to pass as it is poured into the service
glass.

1. Boston Shaker

Mostly used by professionals, the Boston shaker comes in two parts: a mixing glass and a
larger tin container. The two glasses perfectly fit to have an airtight seal when mixing,
preventing your cocktail from spilling. As practical and durable as this shaker is, it also
requires great skill, especially when separating the two glasses.

2. Tin on tin

This is very similar to the Boston shaker because it also comes with two glass-like
containers, only that they both are made of tin, hence the name. The tin on tin is easier to
use than a glass on tin shaker because the container won’t crack when you separate them.
This shaker is advised to be used when mixing egg whites in your cocktail.

And because both containers are made of tin, the drink will cool much faster, providing a
better seal. The only downside is that you won’t have a visual of the drinks that you’re mixing
as a Boston shaker would.

3. Cobbler

The cobbler contains three parts: a large shaking tin, a tightly fitted top with a built-in
strainer, and a cap to cover the top. It may be less noisy, but it still has cons.
For instance, when a cocktail is shaken, the lid can contract, making it sticky and difficult to
remove. And while it already has a strainer, it is not adjustable and not very fine, so your
cocktail can still have pulp or ice traces.

But still, it is an excellent shaker to use, especially when you’re a beginner and want to
practice your mixing skills. As a treat, the cap measures exactly 1 ounce, so when you
misplace your jigger, you can use this handy feature instead.

4. Parisian

Also called the French shaker, this one also has two compartments: a metal bottom
container and a metal cap. The Parisian shaker has the most appealing design, and it even
comes in sophisticated colors. However, it doesn’t have a built-in strainer like the cobbler so
you need to have a separate strainer around your kitchen.

It also has excellent thermal conductivity as it is made of metal. However, despite its design
and other pros, it is not as effective as the Boston shaker.

COCKTAIL STRAINERS
Strainers are used to pour over the drinks into the glass to catch any unwanted particles
such as pulp or tiny ice pieces. It ensures that the cocktail is smooth all the time. Like the
shaker, strainers also come in different types.

Most cocktail shakers don’t have built-in strainers, so they have to be purchased separately.

5. Hawthorne Strainer

Perhaps the most widely-used strainer, the Hawthorne strainer is also the most complicated
looking. It contains a metal disc with perforated holes and an attached handle, stabilizing
prongs to keep it in place on top of a shaker tin or glass, and a metal spring aligned on the
disc that catches any solid particles when pouring a drink.

This strainer complements the Boston shaker because the metal spring perfectly fits the rim
of the tin or glass due to its adjustable feature. It comes in different styles, but they all have
the necessary parts.

However, this strainer can be challenging to clean because of the spring and is easily
damaged when not used or stored correctly.

6. Julep Strainer

A julep strainer looks like a slotted spoon but not as shallow and has a shorter handle. It has
a round and shallow container with tiny holes that catches the solids. It’s not as effective as
the Hawthorne and the fine mesh strainer because the only factor that prevents unwanted
particles from your drink is the holes.
This is typically used with a mixing glass and for straining stirred drinks. It is used by placing
it over the glass’s mouth with the shallow part facing down and held with your fingers’
pressure. It is durable and easy to clean but can’t strain very tiny particles.

7. Fine Mesh Strainer

Among the other two, the fine mesh strainer is the most effective when filtering your drink.
It’s like the strainer that you see in the kitchen, only smaller.

It helps the other strainers catch all the tiny bits of fruit or ice that you don’t want in your
drink. It comes in different sizes, and they’re relatively cheap. When you use it, hold it
beneath the first strainer to thoroughly filter the liquid.

JIGGERS

Many different jiggers stands in row on the bar counter

Cocktail jiggers are small hourglass-like devices made from stainless steel used for
measuring purposes in mixology—the standard jigger measures 1 oz. on one side and 2 oz.
on the other.

Jiggers come in different shapes and sizes . Sometimes, people mistake them for a shot
glass or a shooter. To remove this confusion, check out their differences here .

easier to have a precise measurement. Because of its sleek style, it is easier to pour.

BAR SPOONS
Bar spoons are what you use to stir your drinks. They are like regular spoons but have
longer and slimmer bodies, and the end has a variety of styles.

a muddler and can also be used as a drink layering tool. It is sturdier because it is designed
to muddle ingredients with its unique feature. Moreover, it is excellent to use when you’re
working with tall glasses.

12. American Bar Spoon

Dubbed as the basic bar spoon, the American has a simple but functional design. Its stem is
also twisted but only in the middle part and it is instantly recognizable because of its iconic
red rubber tip, which is to provide comfort to the bartender’s hand when stirring.

13. Japanese Bar Spoon

This one has a longer and slimmer stem and has the most elegant look. The end can either
be a teardrop-shaped tip that provides more weight for better stirring or a fork that can be
used to pick up fruits for muddling.

BAR GLASSES
Drinks wouldn't be complete without their containers since it’s also a matter of presentation.
Many types of glasses are typical for specific beverages. The following are the commonly
used glasses in bars.

26. Toothpick

Toothpicks are either made of bamboo or other types of wood. They are used to stick fruits
or olives placed on top of some cocktails.

27. Whipped Cream Dispenser

Some drinks are more on the sweet side and require whipped cream. You can always use a
store-bought whipped cream bottle, but a dispenser looks more professional and allows you
to make your own cream mix.
It’s one of the complicated tools used in bars, and it works by using small chargers filled with
compressed nitrous oxide to aerate the cream and will eventually create a foam.

28. Mixing Glass

and safe, you must use an ice scoop or tongs to pick up ice from the bucket and transfer
them to the glass or shaker.

33. Muddler

Some drinks are better off with fresh ingredients. And you can do this by extracting the
flavors and aroma of mint leaves or citrus with a muddler . These look like pestles and are
intended for mashing.

They vary in materials such as wood, plastic, or stainless steel. Some also have a rounded
tip, while others have ridges or teeth that better extraction.

34. Citrus Squeezers

Sure, you can squeeze a lemon with your bare hands, but it wouldn’t be so sanitary, and
your customers don’t want to see that. Using a lime squeezer allows efficiency and
cleanliness that extracts juice to the last drop.
35. Absinthe Spoon

An absinthe spoon is a perforated spoon with unique and attractive designs intended for
dissolving sugar in a glass to counteract its bitterness. The spoon is flat, and it is rested
horizontally on the rim of the glass, with a sugar cube placed on top of the spoon’s slotted
part.

Absinthe is then poured over the sugar cube, followed by iced water that will eventually
dissolve the sugar.

36. Butler’s Friend Corkscrew

We’ve already discussed the wine key that features a corkscrew . So, what is this butler’s
friend corkscrew used for? It is actually for removing fragile vintage corks, and its prongs
ensure that no fragments of the cork will mix with the wine.

You use it by inserting the prongs in between the cork and pull it with a twisting motion, and
the cork should be out smoothly.

traces of little spillings on your surface. To keep your area clean, you’ll need to wipe any
unwanted liquids with bar towels . These are also helpful in wiping your glasses to keep
them shiny and dry.

39. Bar Mats

Bar mats are necessary in bars since these protect your bar surface from spills and keep
glasses and other tools in place. They are mainly made of rubber or silicone, making them
slip-resistant. They also help in maintaining cleanliness on your counter by containing spilled
liquids.

40. Can Opener

42. Glass Racks

Where else would you store your glasses other than racks, right? These can be considered
a piece of furniture in your bar to store and organize bar glasses neatly.

with stems and bases like wine glasses or flute glasses are hung from the racks to save
space and easy access.

43. Glass Washer

If it’s a busy day at the bar, you would typically clean up simultaneously while preparing
drinks, but you don’t want to get stuck washing the glasses, right? This is where the glass
washer comes in handy.

rotate when turned on. The bristles ensure that even the glasses’ toughest stains are
removed and reach the glass’s bottom.

44. Ice Maker

Drinks are so much better when they’re cold, and one way to make this happen fast is by
mixing them with ice.

supply, and so your operation won’t be interrupted because you ran out of ice. It is one of the
larger investments, but it is worth it.

45. Juicer

We’ve already established the citrus squeezers, but other fruits are not compatible with
them, such as mango or pineapple.

Some customers prefer to have fresh fruit juice in their drinks and to save time and effort. A
juicer extracts fresh juice from large fruits, especially beneficial when you need a big batch.

46. Blender

The best blenders incorporate all the ingredients better into one drink than just mixing them
with a shaker. If you want to save some money, a blender can also double as a juicer, but
the juice will be chunkier, so you need to strain it first.

47. Liquor Shelves

If you have frequented a bar, you may notice that the liquors, spirits, and mixers are
displayed neatly stacked on shelves. This is another bar furniture that helps organize your
drinks and for easy access and keeping the area clean at all times. Sometimes, shelves are

Flaming drinks provide theatrics, so you need matches or a lighter to pull it off. One example
would be a scorpion bowl in which the middle is filled with alcohol, mostly rum, and is lit on
fire.

51. Clothespins

One of the trends in the cocktail world is having clothespins clip garnishes like mint leaves,
blossoms, or lemon peels in the rim of the glass.

It doesn’t add any flavor to the drink because the garnishes are more likely hung out, but it’s
undeniable that they make the beverage look aesthetically pleasing.

52. Fruit Tray

Don’t leave your fruits hanging around anywhere. After all, they’re one of the crucial
ingredients in drinks, so store them in a lovely fruit tray to secure and keep them in place.

53. Glass Rimmer

Ideas for glass rims are sprouting, and you’ll need to keep up with them. To help you execute
it quickly, you can use a glass rimmer. They are multiple shallow plates with the ideal glass
size that allows you to have your rimming ingredients ready beforehand.

Standard rims are used to apply salt and sugar. The rimmer saves you time without having
to get a plate and layout sugar or salt every time someone orders a margarita.

54. Cocktail shaker

Cocktail shaker is used in bars to mix drinks (like Cocktails, Mocktail) by shaking. It is
basically made of stainless steel, plastic, glass.

Ingredients are placed in a sealed shaker such as liquors, syrups, fruit juices, and ice. After
vigorously shaking and mixing the drink, shakers allow for easy pouring into the customer
glass.
