What’s your preferred type of shaker? Are you a Boston, French, or Cobbler kind of person? Tell me below! Most of the time, if I’m just making one drink, I love a French style 2-piece shaker. The only style of shaker I don’t use anymore is a Cobbler, and that’s because the cap got stuck two years ago and I still haven’t been able to get it off. 🤣 #homebartenderproblems This is a shot I created for @pinabarware with a couple of free-styled tequila cocktails made in their heavy duty Founder’s Tins. 🍸🍸 💛 Left: tequila blanco, grapefruit, passionfruit, lemon, basil. ❤️ Right: tequila reposado, lime, Cointreau, sour cherry, vanilla. #cocktailshaker #bostonshaker #tequila #pourshot
