Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Serpent's Kiss," a boutique cocktail bar in the heart of Cardiff, wanted to enhance their mystical, alchemical theme with barware that matched their vision. They replaced their standard stainless steel strainers with the Beaumont copper skull strainer to add to the theatre of their service.

"It’s a small change that has had a massive impact. Our customers are fascinated by them and  it fits our brand perfectly. It's not just a tool, it's part of the performance we put on every night. Solid, reliable, and  looks incredible."

Michael Davies – Bar Manager

The bar noted that cocktails served using the skull strainer saw a 25% increase in social media tags from customers, boosting their online visibility.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash in warm, soapy water and  rinse well.
  • Dry it completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
  • It's designed to fit perfectly on standard Boston shaker tins and  mixing glasses.
  • The two prongs rest on the rim, allowing for stable, one-handed pouring.

Keeping It Going

  • To protect the finish, always hand wash. Never put it in a commercial dishwasher.
  • Wash promptly after use to prevent acids from fruit juices damaging the plating.
  • Dry immediately and  thoroughly with a microfibre or other soft cloth.
  • Store in a dry area to keep the copper finish bright and  tarnish-free.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bar Strainer

Not sure which strainer suits your style? Here’s a quick rundown to help you pick the perfect tool for your bar.

Hawthorne Strainer (This Product)

The workhorse for shaken drinks. Its spring-loaded coil fits snugly inside a shaker tin, providing a fine strain to catch ice and  pulp. A must-have for any professional bartender.

Julep Strainer

Shaped like a large spoon with holes, this is designed for stirred drinks in a mixing glass. It's perfect for spirit-forward cocktails like a Negroni or Old Fashioned.

Fine Mesh Strainer

Used in a technique called 'double straining', this conical sieve catches the tiniest ice crystals and  fruit bits for an impeccably smooth texture. Often used with a Hawthorne.

Fit and  Compatibility

Always check that your strainer is compatible with your shakers or mixing glasses. A good fit prevents spills and  ensures an efficient, clean pour every time.

Material and  Aesthetics

While stainless steel is a classic, plated finishes like this copper skull strainer for bartenders add character and  reinforce your bar's theme, turning a tool into a statement piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this strainer made of solid copper?

A: It's a high-quality, durable bar tool that is copper plated. This gives you the stunning aesthetic of copper with robust performance suitable for a commercial setting.

Q: Will it fit my existing Boston shaker tins?

A: Yes, the Beaumont skull strainer is designed to industry standards and  fits perfectly on standard Boston shakers and  pint glasses.

Q: Can I put this in my glasswasher or dishwasher?

A: We strongly advise against it. To protect the beautiful copper plating from harsh detergents and  high heat, you should only ever hand wash and  dry this item.

Q: Is this suitable for a busy, high-volume cocktail bar?

A: Absolutely. It's made by Beaumont, a leader in professional barware, and  is built to withstand the demands of a fast-paced environment.

Q: Does the copper finish wear off easily?

A: With proper care (hand washing and  immediate drying), the high-quality copper plating is designed to be durable and  long-lasting.

Q: What is a 'throwing strainer'?

A: It's a professional term for a Hawthorne-style strainer. The name comes from the action of pouring or 'throwing' the drink from the shaker into the glass.

Q: Will the copper plating affect the taste of my drinks?

A: Not at all. The plating is non-reactive and, when kept clean, will not impart any flavour to your cocktails.

Q: How much does it weigh?

A: It's very light at just 0.11kg, making it comfortable to use repeatedly throughout a long and  busy shift without causing fatigue.
