The Cobbler Shaker is a 3-piece shaker system that includes a built-in strainer and lid system. The bottom piece stores the contents of the drink and ice - once mixed, the strainer system is added and the lid is placed on top.

The contents are shaken and the lid is removed to allow for proper straining. Many cobbler shakers have caps that allow liquids to be measured in 1 fluid ounce measurements. The Cobbler shaker comes in a variety of materials, including full steel, partial steel, insulated, and glass.

Some folks report issues with full steel cobbler shakers as the metal re-sizes when cold, making the pieces difficult to disassemble to make more cocktails.
