European Style Bar Spoon – Gunmetal Black

Barluxia’s European style bar spoon can be used for mixing and layering drinks with the added benefits of lightly muddling, reducing champagne bubbles or measuring. The long-twisted stem design ensures that it can reach the bottom of the tallest glass or shaker tin whilst aiding stirring and the layering of cocktails and shots. Used in conjunction with the twisted stem, the flat disc helps layer drinks especially in tall glasses as it allows the liquid to travel down the channel of the twisted stem and then settle and spread over the disc reducing the impact letting it layer more effectively. Additionally, the flat disc can be used to muddle soft ingredients like sugar and fruits. The spoon holds 5ml of liquid and is ideal for adding smaller measures of ingredients such as syrups or sugar to cocktails.

Benefits of the Bar Spoon:

• Effectively stir ingredients – with the long-handled specialized spoon.
• Easily Layer Drinks – with the channeled twisted stem and flat disc.
• Lightly Muddle – European style with a “hammer” or flat disc at the end.
• Comfortable to Hold – rotates between your fingers easily.
• Multifunctional & Versatile – designed to mix, layer, muddle and measure.
• Aesthetically looks great – Sleek modern design.
• Tough and Safe – the stainless steel is virtually unbreakable and easy to clean.

For easy use:

Stirring

1. Add the ingredients to your mixing vessel.
2. Slide the bar spoon in and hold the spoon between two fingers on either side of the stem.
3. Rotate the spoon between your fingers as you move it around the mixing glass. The motion should be fluid and consistent and not vigorous as you do not want to bash the ice cubes.
4. Place a strainer over the top of the mixing vessel and strain your chilled and integrated cocktail into your serving glass. Garnish and serve!

Layering

1. When laying a drink start with the heaviest density liquid moving through to the lightest density. Pour the heaviest density liquid into the bottom of your serving glass.
2. Hold the flat disk end on the surface of the liquid you wish to float your next layer on top of. Slowly pour the second ingredient down the channels of the twisted stem, lifting the spoon up as the level rises so the flat disc is always just on the surface of the liquid. Alternatively, rest the spoon end upside down on the edge where the lower layer meets the glass. Holding the spoon as flat as possible, pour the next layer slowly over the curve of the spoon, raising the spoon as the layer builds.
3. Repeat the process for each layer and then serve.
