Cocktail Shaker – Frequently Asked Questions

What size cocktail shaker is best for home use in New Zealand?

A 500–700 ml (17–24 oz) shaker is ideal for home bartending. It holds enough liquid for two standard cocktails, leaving space to shake properly without spilling, making it perfect for casual or small gatherings.

Which material is best for a cocktail shaker?

Stainless steel is the most durable and easy-to-clean option. It chills drinks quickly and maintains a professional look. Some shakers feature copper or matte coatings for style, but ensure the coating is food-safe and won’t affect the taste.

Do I need a separate strainer for my cocktail shaker?

Many three-piece shakers include a built-in strainer. If yours doesn’t, you’ll need a Hawthorne or mesh strainer to remove ice and pulp, ensuring a smooth and well-presented drink.

How should I clean my cocktail shaker?

Wash all parts with warm soapy water after each use and dry thoroughly. For stainless steel, polish occasionally to avoid water marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the surface.

Can I use a cocktail shaker for mocktails or iced drinks?

Yes! Shaking mocktails, iced tea, or fruit-based drinks helps mix flavours quickly and chill the drink evenly. Always rinse thoroughly afterward to avoid taste transfer between different drinks.

Why does my shaker leak and how can I fix it?

Leaks usually occur when the seal isn’t tight or the shaker is overfilled. Press the lid firmly, use solid ice, and leave a little space for shaking. Tap the lid slightly before shaking to create a proper seal.
