A 3 piece cocktail shaker is a great tool to have when mixing drinks. Here are some tips on how to use one:
1. Fill the shaker with ice cubes. You'll need about 1-2 cups of ice for this.
2. Pour your ingredients into the shaker. Make sure to measure them out beforehand so you know the proportions.
3. Put the top on the shaker and hold it tight with one hand while you shake it vigorously with the other hand. Shake for about 30 seconds or until the drink is well mixed.
4. Remove the top and strain your drink into a glass using a strainer or Hawthorne strainer if you have one. If you don't have a strainer, you can pour it directly into the glass but be warned that some ice may end up in your drink
