Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Hawthorne strainer and what is it used for?

Hawthorne strainer is a bar tool used for straining cocktails. It features a flat disc with small holes and a coiled spring that wraps around the edges. When placed over a shaker tin, it effectively strains out ice and solid ingredients, allowing the liquid to pass through for a smooth drink.

How do I use a Hawthorne strainer properly?

To use a Hawthorne strainer, securely place it over your shaker tin. Pour your cocktail through the strainer and into your serving glass, allowing it to strain out any solids or ice. The strainer's small holes ensure a smooth pour, resulting in a refined drink.

What is the difference between a Hawthorne strainer and other types of strainers, like julep and fine mesh strainers?

Hawthorne, julep, and fine mesh strainers are all used for cocktail straining, but with different designs and purposes. A Hawthorne strainer fits a shaker & features a coiled spring and small holes, while julep strainers are perforated spoons that fit over mixing glasses, and fine mesh strainers have a tight mesh screen for finer filtration.

Are there different types or sizes of Hawthorne strainers? If so, how do I choose the right one for my needs?

Hawthorne strainers may vary slightly in design but are typically the same general size, as they are made to fit over industry-standard Boston shakers. Instead of size, focus on the coil density and the handle-- our Hawthorne shaker features a seamless handle to avoid breakage and a tight coil to filter more solids out of your drink, for example.

How do I clean and maintain a Hawthorne strainer to ensure its longevity?

Just pop your A Bar Above Hawthorne strainer directly in the dishwasher! You can also remove the spring first and give it a good scrub to ensure it gets really clean. Then dry thoroughly before storing.

What materials are commonly used for making Hawthorne strainers, and are there any differences in performance or durability?

Hawthorne strainers are typically made of stainless steel and sometimes brass or copper. The latter two can rust more easily, so be aware of that. The bigger problem is the handle: A handle with an attached weld can sometimes fall off! That's why we went with a seamless design for ours.

Can I use a Hawthorne strainer with different types of shakers and mixing glasses?

Not all Hawthorne strainers are created equally! However, our Hawthorne strainer to designed to fit most industry-standard cocktail shakers, mixing glasses, and pint glasses to make mixology easier for you.

Are there any specific techniques to use a Hawthorne strainer more efficiently and effectively?

Pushing down on the finger holder allows you to close the gap between the strainer and the interior wall of the shaker tin, creating a more efficient and controlled flow while also holding back solids from getting into the cocktail.

Really enjoyed this course. Since all content is online, it is go-at-your-own-place. The videos were dense with material, so I appreciated being able to go back and watch portions of the video again. I had plenty of knowledge of cocktail making before taking this class, having taken an in person bartending course, but this taught me so much more about the spirits themselves and guidelines for balancing cocktails. The course requires a multiple choice exam at the end, as well as a practical in which you design your own cocktail using frameworks from the course to adjust your creation. I am very proud of my cocktail -The Open Door. The course opened me up to new possibilities with cocktail making and understanding components foundationally, so I thought the title was fitting. It's a riff on a gin sour with some Chambord and fig syrup I made at home (see photo). Toward the end of the course, the instructor provides cocktail families to help you understand how you can add or subtract an ingredient to make a whole other cocktail. I appreciated that, because my thoughts prior to the class were that you had to do something outrageous or hyper original to make a new cocktail. Knowing that you can adjust things one step at a time made the creativity and artistry of mixology far less daunting, much more fun, and easier to customize drinks when I am entertaining guests at home. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
