Bar Equipment and their uses

 Cocktail shaker

Cocktail shaker is used in bars to mix drinks (like Cocktails, Mocktail) by shaking. It is basically made of
stainless steel, plastic, glass.

Ingredients are placed in a sealed shaker such as liquors, syrups, fruit juices, and ice. After vigorously
shaking and mixing the drink, shakers allow for easy pouring into the customer glass.

It is very simple, very difficult to use. Mostly the bottle is held within the grip of two knees, forcibly
the cork is dragged upward with a loud pop. Spilling is often seen. For red wine with sediments,
this cannot be used.

carried in pockets by a wine waiter

 Waiter’s friend/Corkscrew
A most popular corkscrew used by service staff with a knife on one side, nick grip on the other
side, and a lever in between, the spiral at one end. This is a crossbar-type lever. It requires a
strong hand to operate. It should have the perfect shape for operation. It goes out of shape very
soon.

Corkscrew is basically used for drawing the corks from wine bottles, it is consists of a pointed
metallic helix (often called the “worm”) attached to a handle, which the user screws into the
cork and pulls to extract it.
