A staple in any flair bartender’s armada is a high quality weighted shaker. This 16 oz weighted cheater tin is made of nearly indestructible stainless steel. Often used as a cap for the matching 28 oz shaker, this short shaker is weighted on the bottom and reinforced to make balancing, throwing and catching more predictable. This added stability makes for more predictable spins as well, as the shaker now has a more defined center of gravity on which to pivot. With center mass moved to the base of the flair shaker, long catches and bottle stops put less strain on your hand during falling catches.

If you’d prefer a shaker without the extra weight for your flair tricks, there are also dozens of other options available at the Flair Bartending Online Store.
