Know before you buy
The August Cocktail Strainer is a Hawthorne-style strainer, which is the standard choice for most shaken cocktails. It features a broad, slotted bowl designed to fit securely over most mixing glasses and shakers.
Yes, because it is crafted from durable 18/10 stainless steel, it is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to maintain the polished finish and prevent potential water spotting over time.
The strainer is designed to be versatile, but it is specifically optimized for the pieces in the matching Lenox August collection. Its standard size should fit most professional-grade mixing glasses and shakers comfortably.
18/10 stainless steel is a high-quality alloy that offers superior resistance to rust and corrosion compared to standard steel. This ensures the strainer remains break-resistant and maintains its luster even with frequent exposure to citrus juices and ice.
The August Cocktail Strainer is sold individually, but it is part of a coordinated barware collection. You can purchase the matching shaker and jigger separately if you wish to complete the set.
