Cocktail Colin says:
I have found some cocktail recipes that are simple to make and require shaking. Here are the top 3 options:
- A classic cocktail with Triple Sec, Lime juice, Tequila, and a pinch of Salt.
- Another variation of the classic margarita with Cointreau, Lime juice, Tequila, and a pinch of Salt.
- A refreshing Daiquiri with Lime juice, White rum, and Sugar.
These cocktails are easy to make and shaking them will ensure all the ingredients are well mixed for a delicious taste!

FAQ's
We've collated some quick fire Q&A's on the question to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
What are some tips for shaking a cocktail?
To shake a cocktail effectively, fill your shaker with ice, add your ingredients, and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This helps to chill and dilute the drink properly.
Why do some cocktails need to be shaken?
Shaking is often used for cocktails with fruit juices, dairy, or egg whites to ensure these ingredients are well mixed and provide a frothy texture.
What kind of ice should I use in a cocktail shaker?
It's best to use standard ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Using small, half-moon ice can cause over-dilution, while larger ice cubes provide the right amount of chilling and dilution.
Do I need special equipment to shake cocktails?
The most important tool for shaking cocktails is a good cocktail shaker. A cobbler shaker or a Boston shaker works well. You'll also need a strainer to pour the drink into your glass.
How do I know when to stop shaking a cocktail?
A cocktail is generally ready when the outside of the shaker becomes frosty and cold. You should also hear an audible change in the sound of the ice hitting the inside of the shaker.
