Description
A cheater tin is the smaller of the two tins in a tin-on-tin Boston shaker. It sits inside the mouth of the 28oz tin, rather than over it, which is what gives tin-on-tin shakers their fast, positive seal. On its own it also works as a jigger-sized tin for building a drink before you tip it into the larger tin, or as a small vessel for a single serve.
Most people buy a cheater tin to replace a dented or missing one from an existing set, rather than as a first purchase — it's cheaper than buying a whole new shaker for the sake of one tin. It's also a straightforward way to convert a Boston shaker glass set into an all-metal tin-on-tin set: keep your 28oz tin, add this, and retire the glass. If you're buying your very first shaker, look at a full tin-on-tin set instead; buy this on its own once you already own the larger tin.
