Boston shaker at Pegu Club

[jk1002]

Does anybody know where to get the all metal boston shakers they are using at pegu club?

I know where to get generic metal bostons but want what they have.

Thanks

Did you happen to see if they are using Japanese weighted ones?

We have the Naranjas and they are nice and sturdy. And make an excellent seal.

I've been meaning to ask about this. I have the standard metal + glass boston shaker combo. I'd like to go all metal but cant seem to find a set of them. What size goes into what size to make a good fit when it comes to all metal?

I've always been happy with the tins from BarSupplies.com:

A weighted 18 oz tin paired with a 28 oz tin does the job for me, and it's cheap.

One side is typically 28 oz. The other is usually 16 oz. or 18 oz.

The Naranja is a little oddball in that it's 17 oz. But I find the seal on the weighted tins to be excellent and they are definitely high quality. Most of the high end NYC cocktail bars use them now.

Thanks for the hint, based on the description on Cocktailkingdom I am thinking it could be the Naranja.

I don't recall so much the look of them but the "clack" noise they made when the barkeeper opened the seal. They were able to do that with one hand, that was what I noted and why i am looking for them. Can't get that done with my Boston shaker. Might be just me being unskilled or the shaker .....

Cheers

The Naranja is far and away my favorite. The weight makes dry shaking a breeze. Great Seal.
