A Boston shaker consists of two separate cups that fit together, which generally allows for faster chilling and easier cleaning. It is the preferred choice for professional bartenders because it is less prone to freezing shut during vigorous shaking.
The set includes two glasses designed to work with the shaker tins, providing everything you need to mix, shake, and strain your drinks effectively.
