Hawthorne Style Cocktail Strainer – Gunmetal Black

After you have finished shaking a cocktail, you will need to strain it into your desired drinking vessel. The Hawthorne style cocktail strainer was designed to fit snuggly into the top portion of the shaker without locking onto it, allowing for easy removal. It consists of a flat disc to which a moderately wound close coiled spring is affixed and has perforated holes that traps larger ingredients like shards of ice, muddled fruit or mint leaves.

The closely coiled spring pitched at a moderate tension allows you to easily secure the Hawthorne Strainer into different sized shaker tins. It is comfortable to hold and well balanced with a lightweight grooved handle.
