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.

Why choose a VINTAGE French Shaker?

The professional two-piece construction provides a secure seal, effortless opening and quick cleaning. Its generous 700 ml capacity allows for more ice, improved chilling performance and comfortable preparation of multiple cocktails whenever service demands it.

Perfect for classic and signature cocktails

The larger capacity makes it ideal for preparing a wide range of cocktails, including:

• Martini
• Shaken Negroni
• Daiquiri
• Whisky Sour
• Margarita
