Pros

Crafthouse by Fortessa Boston Cocktail Shaker
Pros
- Dishwasher safe
- Heavy-gauge stainless steel
Cons
- Pricey
The stainless steel Crafthouse by Fortessa Boston Cocktail Shaker is a favorite of Delish Editorial Assistant Gabby Romero. It was designed by World Champion Bartender Charles Joly with a ribbed design. There's a foot at the bottom to improve grip, so it's ideal for beginners or those with small hands. The inside of the shaker also includes measurements for easy pouring.
OXO Steel Single Wall Cocktail Shaker
Pros
- Cap doubles as jigger
Cons
- Single-walled
The cobbler-style OXO Steel Single Wall Cocktail Shaker has two silicone gaskets to keep leaks at bay. "It is the first shaker we have ever owned that doesn't leak and is really easy to open," said one reviewer.
Pros
- Shatter-proof
- Available in several colors
Cons
The BrüMate Cocktail Shaker doubles as a tumbler with a splash and leak-proof lid that you can drink out of. Plus, you won't have to worry about your drink getting warm because the stainless-steel body is triple-insulated.
Williams Sonoma Stainless-Steel Cocktail Shaker 8 oz.
Pros
- Dishwasher safe
- Great for gifting or parties
Cons
Perfect for a single drink, the eight-ounce Williams Sonoma Stainless-Steel Cocktail Shaker is a great for gifting or parties where guests want to mix their own drink. The watertight lid holds half of a shot.
Pros
- Dishwasher safe
- Rust-resistant stainless steel
Cons
To round out your home bar, you can't go wrong with the A Bar Above's Boston Shaker Set, which comes with a stainless steel shaker set, jigger, and strainer. " It looks nice, is easy to clean, and has all the pieces to get you started on your bar," said one reviewer. "I love the jigger because it has so many measurements."
How we picked these products
To make a good drink, you need good tools. That's why we spent a lot of time selecting the best cocktail shakers. We asked Delish staff and pored over reviews to craft a list that features different styles and price points.
What's the difference between Boston and cobbler shakers?
A Boston shaker is what you'll often see bartenders using, but it can be a little challenging for beginners. The two tins fit tightly together, but need a good smack to come apart. It usually has a larger capacity than a cobbler shaker.
A cobbler shaker has all of the components you need to mix a drink: the tin, a built-in strainer, and a cap (which can usually be used as a jigger).
