Know before you buy
Yes, the 8-9cm diameter is designed to be versatile, fitting most standard shaking tins and mixing glasses comfortably.
Because of the gold plating, this strainer is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water, then drying it immediately with a soft cloth to maintain the finish.
Yes, the tight, round coil is highly effective at catching ice shards and fruit pulp, resulting in a cleaner, smoother pour compared to strainers with looser springs.
The corrugated design provides extra grip and stability, allowing the strainer to rest securely on the rim of your mixing vessel so it won't slip while you pour.
Like all plated barware, the gold finish can wear over time if not cared for properly. To keep it looking its best, avoid abrasive scrubbers and ensure it is thoroughly dried after every use.
