Professional French Shaker inspired by classic bartending
The VINTAGE Matt French Shaker [MEZCLAR] 700 ml, also known as a Parisian Shaker, is designed for bartenders who appreciate traditional cocktail craftsmanship and timeless design. Its elegant matte finish, generous capacity and professional two-piece construction make it an excellent choice for both busy cocktail bars and premium Home Bars.
Unlike a Cobbler Shaker, the French Shaker does not include a built-in strainer, allowing bartenders to use a Hawthorne Strainer or Julep Strainer for maximum pouring precision and complete control during service. At the same time, it offers the refined appearance of a Parisian Shaker while maintaining the simplicity preferred by professional bartenders.

- Martini
