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.

What occasion can I use this bar strainer for?

This cocktail strainer is meant for everyday use and is great for making drinks for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, dinner parties, and date nights.

Who is this drink strainer for?

This strainer is made for everyone: beginner, intermediate, and advanced home bartenders as well as professional mixologists.

Bar Set

I purchased the bar set in copper. Not only are they beautiful; they’re so well made. They sit on my bar and I love how they look there. I would purchase from you again and recommend friends!

Terrific quality, super quick shipping

Cocktails tastes like butt before I bought this

Impressive

Nice addition to the bar.

Not made in USA

Just received this yesterday, so haven't used it yet, although it looks like a nice strainer. I bought this one over another on Amazon because the Product Information section shows Country of Origin as USA. The box, though, states Made in China. Misleading information.

Perfect size!

I use this to strain all my boba and it works great! It is very sturdy , wide and short so it doesn’t occupy so much space in my drawers together with my other utensils.

Not a Hawthorne you'd expect

Doesn't fit well. Leaks and isn't easy to clean like the original.

Works great!

Works perfectly with the a bar above Boston Shaker. very easy to clean.

Amazing Strainer

Feels premium. Gets all the pulp and seeds out and the liquid through. So much better than the strainer cap. more flashy too

Great product for straining cocktails!

If you like fruity cocktails without the seeds then get this! Does its job to help get drunk without the seeds but all the flavor.

Great

Great product and great service

Works great.

Works great. Easy to clean. Perfect ery pleased

Solid

Very well made strainer.

Great quality.

I needed a new strainer and this is of great quality. Does the job!

Can’t pour 2 at once?

I have an oxo strainer that I love, but the idea of being able to pour two drinks at once was just too tempting, so I purchased this one. It’s been three months now, and I still have not figured out a way to reliably pour two drinks at once. You have to have the strainer at exactly the right equilibrium, otherwise one glass feels faster than the other. Additionally, unless you pour super fast, my cocktail will inevitably dribble down the shaker. Maybe other folks can do this, but I haven’t been able to master it yet. So for me it’s a waste.

Quality

Quality bar ware with simple designs.

Essential bartender tool

Love this strainer. I’m a bar manager at a busy steakhouse. I make over 700 cocktails in an evening. And this strainer works perfect every time.

Fantastic Product!

So glad that you're liking the strainer, Clarice!

Excellent sturdy strainer

Really nice strainer

My wife and I decided to upgrade our bar ware, but wanted to buy piecemeal versus a set. This strainer is high quality and a nice addition to our bar. Definitely recommended!

Cocktail Strainer

It meets my needs.

Just say no to pulp!

It strains great, due to the tight spring. Just say no to pulp.

A solid piece

This strainer is a solid piece of bar equipment. Well worth it for the home bar.

High Quality

I already had a Hawthorne Strainer but it was a little too small and was flimsy. this is high Quality and properly sized for my Boston Shaker.

A must!

Works perfectly

Good quality, looks pretty

Nice piece to add to my copper shakers. fits and works well, looks nice.

Works as well as it looks. Came quickly so could not be happier.

I'm glad you're happy with your purchase, Randy! Cheers!
