THE BARS Boston Shaker 28oz – Professional Weighted Tin
The Boston Shaker Weighted Tin [THE BARS] 28oz is the larger metal component of a Boston cocktail shaker. Made from 18/10 stainless steel with a polished finish and weighted base, it is designed for cocktail preparation in professional bars, restaurants and home bars.
What Does a Weighted Base Do?
A weighted base adds weight to the bottom of the tin, changing its balance and handling during shaking. Many professional bartenders appreciate this construction for its controlled feel, especially when preparing cocktails repeatedly during busy service.
Is This a Complete Boston Shaker?
No. This product contains one individual 28oz stainless steel tin. To prepare cocktails, you need a compatible smaller shaker tin or a suitable Boston shaker glass. Always check that both components fit correctly before use.
Once shaken, the cocktail can be strained using a compatible Hawthorne strainer. A jigger helps measure ingredients accurately.
