Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'cocktail' (a mixed alcoholic drink) plus 'shaker' (a container for shaking) naturally denotes a container used to shake cocktails. This is a regular noun–noun compound following transparent English word-formation patterns and is cross-linguistically straightforward, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Cocktail shaker is named for what it does: bartenders put a cocktail and ice into a covered cup and shake it hard to make the drink cold and mixed. That's why a cocktail shaker is the shaker used to 'mix' and 'chill' cocktails.
