Classic Cocktail Strainer Matte Black

Elevate your cocktail experience with a matte black bar strainer – the classic Hawthorne strainer with a flexible spring coil that filters out ice, fruit and herbs for a clean, clear result in the glass. This model is made from durable stainless steel with a hard-wearing matte black finish that looks sharp on the bar and provides a secure grip during service. Whether you’re stirring in a mixing glass or shaking in Boston tins, the strainer fits securely on the rim and gives you precise control, allowing fast, spill-free pouring — perfect for professional bartenders and the ambitious home bar.

Why a Hawthorne strainer?
The signature spring adapts to the edge of the glass and acts as a flexible filter. This means fewer ice chips and plant particles in your cocktails — better texture, cleaner presentation and more consistent flavour. Compared to a julep strainer, a Hawthorne is more forgiving and faster in service, especially for shaken drinks like Whisky Sour, Daiquiri and Margarita. If you need ultra-fine filtering (e.g. herbs or citrus fibres), you can double strain through a fine mesh sieve — but for 90% of cocktails this strainer is more than enough.

Design, fit and flow
The matte black surface minimises glare and fingerprints, giving a discreet, professional look. The strainer offers a secure grip, raised “ears” for stable placement on both shaker and mixing glass, and a responsive spring that keeps ice and pulp back without blocking the flow. The result is smooth, controlled pouring — fast enough for busy service, precise enough for signature drinks. The spring tension can be adjusted (light press/pull) if you want to fine-tune filtration for specific recipes.

Use cases – from classics to signature serves

• Shaken cocktails: Margarita, Daiquiri, Whisky Sour

• Stirred cocktails: Negroni, Manhattan

• Herb & fruit drinks: Smash variations, Mojito twists

• Home bar: One tool, high success rate – bar-quality cocktails at home

Material & care
Made from food-grade stainless steel for durability and shape retention. The matte black coating is designed for daily use; hand washing with mild detergent is recommended to preserve the finish. Rinse immediately after acidic ingredients (citrus) and allow strainer and spring to dry fully to maintain tension.
