1. A cocktail shaker comprising:
a cup for receiving liquid ingredients;
a lid for installing on the cup, the lid including:
a base including:
an opening for dispensing the liquid ingredients out of the cocktail shaker; and
a pressure relief hole for releasing air from the cup while dispensing the liquid ingredients out of the cocktail shaker through the opening;
a cover movably coupled to the base for moving between a first orientation in which the cover covers the opening and the pressure relief hole, and a second orientation in which the opening and the pressure relief hole are uncovered; and
at least one elastic element biasing the cover into the first orientation, the cover being movable from the first orientation into the second orientation by overcoming the biasing by the at least one elastic element,
the cover comprising a first gasket portion for covering the opening in the first orientation and a second gasket portion for covering the pressure relief hole in the first orientation,
the first gasket portion and the second gasket portion defining a gap therebetween,
the cover being configured so that the movement of the cover into the second orientation by overcoming the biasing by the at least one elastic element allows the pressure relief hole to be uncovered, allowing air to flow out of the pressure relief hole and through the gap upon pouring of the liquid ingredients out of the opening.
