Cresimo Cocktail Shaker
Cresimo is known for two things—stainless steel coffee products and the most affordable top-of-the-line barware you can find. And this 24-ounce shaker ($17) is no exception. With more than 2,000 favorable reviews on Amazon, this sturdy shaker is definitely worth every penny. Bonus: It’s available as a one-piece, three-piece, seven-piece or 12-piece set—recipe book included. Here are easy cocktails even a novice mixologist can master.
Pro tip: When buying a cocktail shaker there are usually two choices: Boston and cobbler.
- Boston shakers are typically two-piece shakers where the bottom half looks like a standard pint glass. They’re typically made of lightweight stainless steel and do not have a built-in strainer.
- Cobbler cocktail shakers are rounded and great for beginner mixologists, as they come with a built-in strainer on top.
