| Jigger – |
Traditionally, a double-sided device with a large measure on one end (usually about 1 ½ oz.) and a smaller one on the other (usually about 1 oz). Jiggers come in different sizes, but usually max out at 3 ounces. This piece of equipment is especially handy when making drinks that call for a collection of ingredients that measure only a few ounces where a slight deviation from the recipe could significantly alter the taste of the drink. |

| Strainer – |
As mentioned above, some shakers will include a built-in strainer. If not, a strainer is essential for keeping most of the ice, fruit pulp, or other ingredients in the shaker when pouring. There are two basic types of strainers – the Hawthorne Strainer and Julep Strainer. The Hawthorne is the more common of the two and contains a wire spring that encircles the rim of the strainer. With the Boston Shaker, this strainer fits will with the stainless steel shell. The Julep is similar to the Hawthorne, but does not contain a wire spring and instead of being flat, it has a slightly concave surface that fits nicely inside the glass part of a Boston Shaker or other glass. |
