I don't have a shaker, so I need one for Cinco de Mayo. I've looked at the Yeti and Elevated Craft, is there another one I should consider?

I prefer a tin-on-tin Boston shaker. I go with the weighted larger tin and found the cheaper ones ($20) on Amazon get the job done perfectly fine.

This. Professional bartenders almost exclusively use only Bostin Shakers. That being said, I do have a yeti one and I do like it. But the majority of the time I use a Boston shaker with one large tin and a pint glass as the other end.

I have the Elevated Craft shaker. It's great. No leak, strainer in the top that does a good job. Seemed crazy to pay that much but was a gift from the rib and was a great gift.

For a cheaper option, the OXO shaker is good. The top also doubles as a jigger. It has a good seal. Made many a margarita in it.

Highly recommended.
Boston Shakers Weighted and Unweighted.
Pricier than other options but worth it. Get stainless.

Friends have the elevated, it is awesome, but ridiculously expensive.
I mostly stir and strain in a glass shaker. Have Boston and a cheap lidded one if I need to shake.
