Whether you prefer a Boston shaker, cobbler shaker, or Parisian shaker, a cocktail shaker is an essential tool to have in your bar cart, right up there with muddlers, strainers, and more. You can use them to mix up drinks like this tamarind-mezcal sour—featuring homemade tamarind-citrus syrup—make yourself a mezcal margarita, or create a strawberry daiquiri. And if you can find one that’s just as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional? Even better. Read on for eight great options, and start planning your next cocktail night now.

Stainless Steel Boston Shaker

This Boston shaker, made from stainless steel, scored a near-perfect rating from Crate & Barrel customers. A maximum fill line keeps you from adding too much liquid (the shaker has a 24-ounce capacity), and after you’re done mixing drinks, you can clean it in the dishwasher. $17 (was $20) at crateandbarrel.com

If you prefer a Parisian shaker (like Boston shakers, they don’t have built-in strainers), go for this Viski model, which received solid ratings across Wayfair, Walmart, and Amazon. It can hold 25 ounces, and the sleek gold finish would look great displayed on your bar cart. $47 at wayfair.com; $27 at Walmart.com; $30 at amazon.com

OXO’s double-walled steel shaker comes with a cap that doubles as a jigger, with measurements for one-ounce, 3/4-ounce, and 1/2-ounce portions. (The shaker can hold 18 ounces total.) Amazon shoppers gave it a 4.7-star rating from over 500 reviews. Since it’s a cobbler shaker, it has a built-in strainer, allowing you to mix and then strain your drinks into a glass all with one tool. $30 at amazon.com and oxo.com

Williams-Sonoma’s minimalist double-walled cobbler shaker has an “insulated design” that promises to prevent condensation gathering on the outside (so you won’t have to worry about the surface getting slippery while you mix your drink). It can hold 16 fluid ounces, and it’s dishwasher-safe, too.
