BAILONG DRAGON [UrbanBAR] – A Professional Tin-on-Tin Boston Shaker with Distinctive Character

Some bar tools are designed simply to do their job. Others bring an additional sense of style and personality to the cocktail-making experience.

The BAILONG DRAGON Boston Shaker Set [UrbanBAR] belongs to the second category. Inspired by the symbolism of the White Dragon, it combines striking decorative artwork with the functionality of a professional Tin-on-Tin cocktail shaker.

Made from premium Japanese 18/8 stainless steel, with a polished finish and weighted bases on both tins, this shaker is designed for preparing cocktails at home or behind a professional bar.

The Bailong Dragon artwork, lucky-coin details on the bases and gift-box presentation distinguish it from conventional Boston shakers.

What's Included in the BAILONG DRAGON Shaker Set?

The set consists of two stainless steel tins designed to fit together and form a complete Boston Shaker:

• 1 x 850ml (approximately 28 oz) Boston Shaker Tin – the larger tin, featuring a weighted base.
• 1 x 19 oz Speed Tin (approximately 560ml) – the smaller tin, also featuring a weighted base.

Both tins are used together during shaking and can be nested for more compact storage when not in use.

The stated 850ml capacity refers to the nominal volume of the larger tin, not the recommended amount of liquid to shake at once.

The White Dragon – Artwork Inspired by Asian Mythology

The name BAILONG refers to the White Dragon, a figure associated with traditional Asian mythology and symbolism.

The shaker features decorative dragon artwork that gives it a distinctive appearance and makes it an eye-catching addition to a cocktail station.

According to the manufacturer, the decoration is applied using food-safe ink.

Additional details inspired by Japanese lucky coins appear on the bases, complementing the shaker's distinctive design.

These decorative features make the BAILONG DRAGON appealing not only as a practical bartending tool but also as an addition to a collection of premium bar accessories.

Premium Japanese 18/8 Stainless Steel

UrbanBAR manufactures this model using Japanese 18/8 stainless steel, a material valued for its corrosion resistance and suitability for barware.

The 18/8 designation typically refers to stainless steel containing approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel.

When properly maintained, quality stainless steel offers practical advantages for repeated use in cocktail preparation.

The polished finish enhances the shaker's appearance, while its metal construction makes it suitable for the traditional technique of shaking cocktails with ice.

What Is a Weighted Boston Shaker?

A weighted Boston Shaker features additional weight at the base of its tins.

On the BAILONG DRAGON model, both stainless steel tins have weighted bases with laser-welded components.

This construction adds rigidity and influences the balance and feel of the shaker during use.

Many bartenders appreciate weighted tins because they offer a different handling experience from unweighted models.

Important: weighted bases do not replace proper sealing, shaking and opening techniques.

Tin-on-Tin vs Glass-and-Tin Boston Shakers

Boston shakers are commonly available in two configurations: a metal tin paired with a mixing glass, or two metal tins used together.

The BAILONG DRAGON uses the Tin-on-Tin configuration, with two stainless steel vessels.

• Two stainless steel tins: no mixing glass is required to form the shaker.
• Metal construction: avoids the need to handle a glass vessel during shaking.
• Compact storage: the tins can be nested when not in use.
• Professional format: Tin-on-Tin shakers are widely used in cocktail bars.
• Versatile application: suitable for many drinks that require shaking with ice.

Which Cocktails Can You Prepare?

The BAILONG DRAGON Boston Shaker can be used for cocktails that require ingredients to be chilled, diluted and mixed through shaking.

• Margarita: tequila, orange liqueur and fresh lime juice.
• Daiquiri: rum, fresh lime juice and sugar syrup.
• Whiskey Sour: whiskey, lemon juice and sweetener, with optional egg white.
• Cosmopolitan: vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice and lime.
• Espresso Martini: vodka, espresso and coffee liqueur.
• Signature cocktails: original recipes featuring fruit purées, syrups, juices and other ingredients.

It can also be used for alcohol-free cocktails and mocktails that benefit from shaking.

5. Garnish with coffee beans if desired.

Bartender tip: do not shake hot espresso in a sealed shaker. Allow it to cool first.

How to Use a Tin-on-Tin Boston Shaker Correctly

A Boston Shaker works by joining two tins to create a sealed vessel for mixing ingredients with ice.

• 1. Measure the ingredients: add the ingredients to the larger tin.
• 2. Add ice: use an appropriate amount without overfilling the shaker.
• 3. Seal the tins: position the smaller tin at a slight angle and secure the connection.
• 4. Shake: hold the shaker securely with both hands and shake according to the recipe.
• 5. Open: release the seal with a controlled palm tap at the appropriate point.
• 6. Strain: use a compatible cocktail strainer to pour the drink into its serving glass.

As the tins cool during shaking, the seal may become tighter. Learning how to open the shaker correctly is part of mastering the Boston Shaker technique.

Safety note: never use a sealed Boston Shaker for hot liquids or carbonated beverages, as pressure may build up inside.

Designed for Professional Bars and Home Mixology

In a professional cocktail bar, the shaker is one of the most frequently used tools. Choosing the right model depends on construction, handling and the bartender's personal preferences.

The BAILONG DRAGON is a distinctive choice for bartenders who prefer a Tin-on-Tin shaker with two weighted stainless steel vessels.

It is also suitable for restaurants, hotels, catering operations and cocktail demonstrations.

For home mixology enthusiasts, the shaker can become a centrepiece of a personal barware collection, combining practical functionality with decorative design.

Cleaning and Care

According to UrbanBAR, the BAILONG DRAGON shaker is dishwasher safe when the manufacturer's care instructions are followed.

However, gentle cleaning is a sensible choice for preserving the polished finish and decorative appearance.

• Clean the tins after use to remove cocktail residues.
• Use warm water and a mild detergent.
