The traditional Cobbler shaker is the household favorite. Its sleek design and the fact that its usage is no rocket science makes it the go-to shaker for novices. The Cobbler shaker is an all-in-one solution consisting of 3 parts: a metal tin, cap, and built-in strainer. You don’t even need a jigger to measure recipe volumes, as the cap is usually 1OZ.
A variation of the Cobbler is glass tin with a metal cap instead of a metal tin with a metal cap. If you want to go real fancy you can also purchase the Cobbler in different colors or personalized versions. It will not make your co*cktail taste better, but you sure will look good shaking.
