What is a Hawthorne Strainer?

The Hawthorne strainer is an essential piece of bar equipment used to separate liquid from ice and other solid ingredients after shaking a cocktail. It fits snugly inside the rim of a mixing tin or cocktail shaker, using a tensioned coil to filter out unwanted fragments. You will find Hawthorne strainers in almost every professional bar because of their efficiency and versatility. The design allows fast, controlled pouring and is suited to a wide range of drinks, from classics like the Martini and Cosmopolitan to creative modern recipes.

Our Hawthorne strainers are designed to withstand regular use in professional service. The finely wound spring ensures a smooth filtration process, while the comfortable handle makes pouring effortless even during a busy shift. With stainless steel construction for longevity and easy cleaning, these strainers combine practicality with sleek, polished style that complements any collection of barware.

What is a Julep Strainer?

A Julep strainer is a traditional style of drink strainer that first found popularity in the nineteenth century, most notably with the classic Mint Julep. It features a perforated bowl with a handle that fits neatly into the mixing glass, acting as an effective barrier between the ice and the finished drink. The curved head ensures a comfortable grip, making it ideal for smoothly straining cocktails stirred over ice rather than shaken.

Our Julep strainers maintain that vintage aesthetic while incorporating the strength and precision demanded by contemporary hospitality professionals. Made from corrosion-resistant materials, they provide durability even with constant exposure to moisture and acidic ingredients. The refined polished finish enhances the professional appearance of your service and makes cleaning quick and easy.

Which Strainer Should You Choose?

Choosing between a Hawthorne or Julep strainer often comes down to the method of mixing and the type of cocktail.

• Hawthorne strainers are best matched with cocktail shakers and are ideal when you need to filter out ice chips or fruit pulp after shaking.
• Julep strainers work perfectly when pouring stirred drinks from a mixing glass, such as a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned.

Many professional bartenders choose to have both. That way, they are equipped to prepare virtually any cocktail with precision and consistency. By pairing both styles, bars and catering businesses can streamline service, ensuring every drink leaves the bar looking polished and professional.
