Know before you buy
Yes, the strainer features classic bent tabs designed to provide a secure, stable fit across most standard cocktail shakers and mixing glasses.
The integrated finger rest allows for better leverage and control, making it easier to hold the strainer firmly in place against the shaker while you pour.
While the 18/10 stainless steel is durable and rust-resistant, we recommend hand washing to maintain the brushed finish and ensure the spring coil remains in optimal condition.
The well-spaced openings are designed for a smooth, consistent pour while effectively catching larger ingredients like ice, fruit chunks, and herbs.
This model was designed in collaboration with world-champion bartender Charles Joly, focusing on a balance between vintage aesthetics and modern ergonomic improvements for professional-grade handling.
