The Boston Shaker

A two-piece shaker consisting of a


metal bottom and glass or plastic
mixing glass. The mixing container
and bottom are inserted into each
other for shaking or used separately
for stirring or muddling.

The Hawthorne strainer is a disc (called the


"rim") with a handle and two or more stabilizing
prongs. A metal spring fixed around the edge of
the rim rolls inward to fit inside the glass. The
rim of the strainer does not need to touch the
rim of the glass, as the spring inside filters out
the ice.
A bar spoon is a long
handled spoon used in
bartending for mixing and
layering of both alcoholic
and non-alcoholic mixed
drinks. Its length ensures
that it can reach to bottom of
the tallest jug or tumbler to
mix ingredients directly in
the glass.

Bottle stoppers can serve both


practical and decorative
purposes. When winemakers
seal the wine with a cork, foil,
and sometimes wax, they
create the ideal preservation
system for a very delicate
substance. This preservation
allows wines to age,
sometimes for extended
periods depending on the type
of wine and its underlying
tannic structure.
Jiggers are small measuring cups specifically designed for making
drinks. Most are in sizes that match the amounts frequently called
for in cocktail recipes. These measuring devices are essential for
making precision drinks.

A muddler is a bartender's tool, used like a pestle to mash—or


muddle—fruits, herbs, and/or spices in the bottom of a glass to
release their flavor
Rimmers are used for drinks which require rimmed glasses. These rimmers
can be either salt or sugar. And the glass is first coated with either water or
lemon juice depending on the recipe

Wine bottle openers are required to open wine bottles that are stoppered with a
cork. They are slowly being supplanted by the screwcap closure. There are many
different inceptions of the wine bottle opener ranging from the simple corkscrew,
the screw pull lever, to complicated carbon dioxide driven openers. The most
popular is the wine key, sommelier knife or "waiter's friend" which resembles a
pocket knife and has a small blade for cutting foil and a screw with a bottle brace.
