Strainer for Cocktails

Description

A hawthorne strainer for cocktails is a bartender’s tool used to strain mixed drinks, such as cocktails, from a mixing glass or shaker into a serving glass.

It leaves out solid ingredients such as ice, fruit pieces, herbs or other solids used in the drink.

There are different styles of strainers, but the most common type is the “Hawthorne” strainer, which consists of a flat disc with many holes and a coiled spring around the edge.

The spring fits snugly around the rim of a mixing glass or shaker, while the disc covers the opening of the glass, allowing liquid to pass through the holes while solids are trapped.

Other types of cocktail strainers are the Julep strainer, which is a slotted spoon, and the Fine Mesh strainer (a common sieve strainer), which is used to strain very small particles or to filter unwanted sediment from a drink.

The strainer for cocktails is an essential tool for bartenders and home mixologists as it helps create a smooth, well-mixed drink, free of unwanted solids, which enhances the flavor and overall presentation of the cocktail.
