Know before you buy
The Koriko features an ultra-tight coil that provides superior filtration, catching more ice shards and fruit pulp than standard strainers. Its wide body and dual-channel design also offer better stability and a more controlled, efficient pour.
Yes, the strainer is designed with a wide, flexible frame that accommodates both standard and large mixing glasses. It is specifically optimized to pair seamlessly with Koriko Stainless Steel Shaking Tins.
The finger rest is a functional design element that provides a secure, ergonomic grip. It allows you to hold the strainer firmly against the glass with one hand, giving you more control and comfort during a quick pour.
The 18/8 stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to rust. While it is built for professional use, we recommend hand washing and drying it promptly to maintain the brushed finish and prevent water spots.
The tight coil is excellent for most cocktails, but if you are preparing drinks with very fine ingredients or muddled herbs, you may want to use a fine mesh conical strainer in addition to this Hawthorne strainer for a double-strained result.
