The Tool Guide
Five Tools, One Home Bar
What each tool actually does, and the one technique tip that makes it work properly.
The Shaker
Boston Shaker
Two tins, one seal — built to chill and dilute a drink fast without watering it down. The wide tin does the shaking; the narrow one traps the ice on the strain.
Best for
The Jigger
Stainless Steel Jigger
The one tool that separates a good cocktail from a guess. Two cones in one, measuring a full and half pour with a level top for accuracy.
Best for
The Muddler
Cocktail Muddler
Presses fresh herbs, fruit and sugar to release oils and juice before the shake — the difference between a mojito that tastes like mint and one that just looks like it.
Best for
The Bar Spoon
Weighted Bar Spoon
A long twisted handle for stirring spirit-forward drinks without bruising them, and a flat end for layering or crushing a garnish.
Best for
The Strainer
Cocktail Strainer
Holds back the ice and muddled fruit while you pour, for a clean glass every time — essential for anything shaken or muddled.

We reply within 24 hours — info@maltandbrew.com
Do I need a cocktail shaker, or can I just stir?
It depends on the drink. Anything with citrus, sugar, cream or egg white needs a hard shake to combine and chill properly. Spirit-forward drinks with no juice — a Martini, a Negroni, an Old Fashioned — are stirred, so a jigger and bar spoon get more daily use than a shaker in most home bars.
What size is a standard jigger?
Most Australian jiggers measure 30mL on one side and 60mL on the other (a single and double nip). Ours follow that standard, so any recipe written in nips or standard pours will measure out correctly.
What's the difference between a Boston and cobbler shaker?
A Boston shaker is two tins that seal together and need a separate strainer. A cobbler shaker is one piece with a built-in strainer cap — easier for beginners, slightly harder to get a perfect seal on. We stock both.
What do I actually need to start a home bar?
A shaker, a jigger and a bar spoon will cover almost every classic cocktail. Add a strainer and a muddler once you're mixing regularly. Read our full guide to setting up a home bar for a proper shopping list.
