MEZCLAR ANTIQUE Boston Shaker – Vintage Style, Modern Mixology
A well-made cocktail begins with the right ingredients and the bartender's technique. The Boston Shaker TIN + TIN ANTIQUE Weighted [MEZCLAR] combines a distinctive vintage appearance with the functionality of a two-piece metal cocktail shaker. Its ANTIQUE finish adds character to a professional or home bar setup.
What's Included in the Set?
- 1 × large Boston Tin, 28oz (approx. 830 ml), weighted
- 1 × small Speed Tin, 18oz (approx. 530 ml), weighted
Price is for the complete set. Both metal tins are included, so there is no need to purchase a separate Speed Tin to assemble the shaker.
How Does a Tin-on-Tin Boston Shaker Work?
The two metal tins fit together to shake cocktail ingredients with ice. Check that they are correctly joined before shaking. After mixing, separate the tins and strain the drink into a serving glass. This system is used in cocktail bars, hospitality venues and home bartending.
Why Choose Two Weighted Tins?
Both tins feature weighted bases that change their weight distribution and the balance felt during shaking. Some bartenders prefer this handling characteristic, while others choose unweighted models depending on personal technique.
ANTIQUE Finish – A Distinctive Bar Aesthetic
The vintage-inspired finish distinguishes this shaker from classic polished stainless steel models. Gentle cleaning and careful handling help protect its decorative surface.
Two Cocktails to Prepare
Whiskey Sour: combine 50 ml whiskey, 25 ml fresh lemon juice and 20 ml sugar syrup. Optionally add pasteurised egg white or a cocktail foaming alternative. If using a foaming agent, shake without ice first, then add ice, shake again and strain.
Daiquiri: combine 60 ml white rum, 25 ml fresh lime juice and 15 ml sugar syrup. Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail coupe.
