Turn the tin upside down over the mixing tumbler and place it on the tumbler at a slight angle. Add ingredients to the mixing tumbler as outlined above.It does take some practice to learn to use this type of shaker. Often, the mixing tumbler is a pint glass, but it can also be made of the same material as the tin. It consists of two pieces - the mixing tumbler (the smaller part) and the tin (the bigger part). The Boston shaker is the type most commonly used by bartenders. If you're using an all-in-one shaker, then simply remove the cap that covers the strainer. If you're using a Boston shaker, give the side of the shaker a good rap or two with the heel of your hand to release any vacuum pressure that has been built up and remove the lid.Set the shaker back on the bar with the tumbler side down.Shake vigorously for a slow count of 15 (15 seconds).Turn the top of the shaker to face you so it doesn't splash anyone if the lid comes off. Hold the top of the cocktail shaker in one hand and the bottom of the cocktail shaker in the other.



Put the lid on the shaker and give it a firm tap with the heel of your hand to make sure it's in place.
