Cocktail/Margarita mixers or shakers
 

Anyone know where to get them cheap?

so far i checked out zellers at Brentwood
they were $20 but they were too big for my liking

I went to Sears and they were around $25

Checked out the dollar store and they were also $20. like wtf haha

and then i went to Walmart which cost $25 but includes a rack.

Homesense?

winner's has them for $12 for a normal one
kitchen stores like benix in metro have them for 10-15 dollars
pour spouts are cheapest at the liquor stores, i think $3 for 3, any other place sells them for like 2.99 each

i bought my 3 piece combo ( glass cup, metal cup, 1oz shot glass) shaker
at Homesense for uhh 14.99?

wow thats cheap!!

Keep in mind that with a Boston style shaker you also require a separate strainer. The Cobbler style shaker which most people are familiar with includes a built in strainer. On the negative side, the Cobbler shaker tends to freeze up at the strainer and at the lid separation point.

I bought a Boston style shaker at Ming Wo for $15 I think.

yeah dam the ones at homesense dont have a strainer with it

I picked up a 3 piece shaker set at HomeSense (Lansdowne Mall) with a strainer included for $16.99

I also saw the other set that didn't include a strainer...

For further explanation, I have included some pics. Below is a Boston style shaker:

how do u shake with a boston style shaker

Pour ingredients into glass cup. Hold the metal tumbler bottom up and place it on top of the glass cup, then give it a gentle smack downward to make a secure seal. For safety, you should shake with one hand on the bottom of each end so it doesn't fly apart, and the glass half of the shaker should be pointed away from other people. Once vigorously shaken, place the shaker metal tumbler side down, and gently smack the middle to break the seal and remove the glass cup. Put your strainer over the metal tumbler and pour into serving glass.
