Cocktail Shakers - Where To Buy?

snappieT

Aside from eBay, does anyone k now where I could pick up a cocktail shaker around the 30 euro mark, if possible a physical store in Dublin, but online is OK too. For some reason, Amazon have restricted theirs to UK only.

Thankies

I was in Urban Outfitters in Temple Bar today, there's a gift shop type deely on the ground floor, and I'm fairly sure I saw one just inside the door.

Hmmmm - not a bad idea to go for a plastic one off the bat if you're experimenting. Other models can be expensive. PLUS - and NB on this - stainless steel shakers often have one flaw - changing the temperature of metal causes it to expand and contract. Many's the time I've put a mix and ice in a shaker, strained if off for a loverly drinkie, and had to use a second shaker for the refill because I can't get the bloody pieces of the shaker to come apart in order to mix another drink.

Now I don't bother with a metal shaker top and use a glass instead.

if you can get access to a musgrave cash and carry card you can pick up a stainless steel one pretty handy!!!

Like mines a Jack said a steel bottom with a 10oz glass is your best bet!

Don't Roches have them? Think I saw one there.
Metal shakers you can (not so) gently tap midway against the bar to open them.

the metal one is nice tho, you can feel the metal getting cold as you shake with ice. i bought one in BTs about a year ago but was a bit silly and spent €50 on it. looks cool tho...
