Know before you buy
A julep strainer is designed specifically for stirred cocktails served over ice, such as a Mint Julep or an Old Fashioned. Unlike a Hawthorne strainer, it lacks a spring, making it easier to clean and ideal for straining drinks directly from a mixing glass.
Yes, the 7-inch length and scalloped design are engineered to sit securely on the rim of most standard mixing glasses and shakers. The bent handle provides stability, allowing you to strain your drink without the tool slipping into the glass.
While the 18-8 stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to corrosion, we recommend hand washing to maintain the finish and ensure the welded construction remains in top condition over time.
The perforations are sized to provide a quick, efficient pour while effectively catching ice shards and fruit pulp. It is designed for a balance between speed and clarity, ensuring a smooth pour for your stirred cocktails.
The 18-8 designation refers to the chromium and nickel content in the steel, which provides superior resistance to rust, pitting, and corrosion. This makes it a professional-grade choice that will withstand frequent use in a busy bar environment.
