Urban Bar Boston Shaker Tin - Silver

A Boston shaker consists of two parts: a shaker tin and a mixing glass or pint glass, offering more capacity and better chilling. A Cobbler shaker is a three-piece set with a built-in strainer and cap, which can sometimes be harder to seal and separate.

Yes, 18/8 Japanese steel has a higher chromium and nickel content, making it exceptionally resistant to rust, corrosion, and pitting compared to lower grades of stainless steel. It also maintains its luster better over time.

Place the shaker tin over the opening of your mixing glass or pint glass. Gently push down and twist slightly to create a snug fit. To break the seal after shaking, tap the side firmly with the heel of your hand where the two pieces meet.

While primarily designed for shaking, the tin itself can be used as a vessel for stirring cocktails if you are using the Boston shaker method and combining it with a mixing glass for stirring.

The Urban Bar Boston Shaker Tin typically has a capacity of 28 oz (approximately 830 ml), which is a standard size for mixing multiple drinks or larger single cocktails.

No, this product is the shaker tin only. It is designed to be paired with a separate cocktail mixing glass or a standard pint glass.

Ensure you are using the 'break' method: gently tap the side of the seam where the tin and glass meet with the heel of your hand. Sometimes a slight twist can also help. Avoid excessive force. If ice has fully frozen around the rim, try running a little warm water around the outside of the tin for a few seconds.

This usually occurs if the tin was left to air dry. Polish the exterior immediately after washing and drying with a soft, lint-free cloth to restore shine. For stubborn water spots, a mild metal polish designed for stainless steel can be used sparingly, followed by thorough drying.

This is highly unlikely with 18/8 Japanese steel, which is non-reactive. Ensure no other metallic barware (like cheap strainers) is coming into contact with the drink, and that the shaker tin itself is clean. Thorough rinsing after washing is key.
