Know before you buy
No, this strainer is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the alloy steel and the gun metal black finish, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately.
Yes, this is an ideal tool for double straining. Its ultra-fine mesh is specifically designed to catch small ice shards, fruit pulp, and herb remnants that pass through a standard Hawthorne strainer, resulting in a cleaner, smoother drink.
Yes, the strainer features a front rest loop that allows it to sit securely on the rim of your mixing glass or shaker. This design provides stability, making it easy to strain your drink with one hand while holding your glass with the other.
The 3.5-inch diameter is perfectly sized for standard cocktail coupes, martini glasses, and mixing glasses. It is specifically optimized for single-drink straining, ensuring you can pour your cocktail without spilling over the sides.
The finish is durable and designed for professional use, but like any plated barware, it can be susceptible to scratching or fading if scrubbed with abrasive materials. Hand washing with a soft cloth will help preserve the sleek look for years.
