Hawthorne Cocktail Strainers
Recognized by the coiled spring surrounding the strainer head, a Hawthorne strainer is designed to fit over a cocktail shaker or mixing vessel while holding back ice and larger ingredients as the drink is poured. Its versatile design makes it one of the most widely used styles of cocktail strainer behind the bar.
Hawthorne strainers are particularly useful with cocktail shakers and shaking tins, making them a natural choice for shaken cocktails. For stirred cocktails, pair your strainer with a mixing glass and bar spoon.
Gold, Copper & Stainless Steel Cocktail Strainers
Choose stainless steel cocktail strainers for a clean professional appearance, gold cocktail strainers for a polished statement finish, or copper cocktail strainers for a warm, classic barware look. Pair your strainer with a cocktail jigger to accurately measure ingredients before mixing.
