Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Alchemist's Nook, a themed cocktail lounge in York, wanted to enhance their mystical, old-world bar theme. They replaced their standard bar tools with more ornate pieces, including the Beaumont Skull Strainer, to fully immerse their customers in the experience.

"Our customers don't just come for a drink; they come for a show. This strainer isn't just a tool, it's a prop. It's sturdy, works perfectly, and  people are always asking where we got it. It absolutely fits our brand."

Leo Carter – Bar Manager

The bar noted a significant increase in social media tags and  mentions, attributing it to the visual appeal of their new, highly photogenic barware.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Ensure it fits snugly inside your preferred cocktail shaker or mixing glass.
  • Practise your grip to get a feel for its balance and  weight.
  • Pair with other copper bar tools for a completely cohesive look.

Keeping It Perfect

  • Always hand-wash only. Dishwashers can damage the copper plating.
  • Use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the surface.
  • Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots and  tarnishing.
  • Polish occasionally with a suitable metal cleaner to maintain its brilliant shine.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Cocktail Strainer

Not sure which strainer is right for your bar? Here’s a quick rundown to help you decide.

Type: Hawthorne vs. Julep

This is a Hawthorne strainer, recognisable by its spring. It's the most versatile type, perfect for shaking tins. Julep strainers are spoon-shaped and  best for stirred drinks in mixing glasses.

Material & Durability

Look for a stainless steel core for longevity. Plated finishes like copper or gold offer incredible style, but require careful hand-washing to protect the look.

Fit and  Size

Your strainer must fit your shaker! Most professional Hawthorne strainers are designed to fit standard Boston shaker tins, just like this one.

Handle and  Grip

A comfortable, well-balanced handle is crucial for speed and  to reduce fatigue. Longer handles, found on 'throwing strainers', are excellent for flair and  control.

The Coil Matters

A tightly wound spring is the key to a clean drink. It stops ice shards, citrus pulp, and  muddled herbs from getting into the final product, ensuring a professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this strainer made from solid copper?

A: It's made from durable, food-grade stainless steel which is then expertly plated with copper for its fantastic aesthetic and  warm finish.

Q: Will this fit my Boston shaker tin?

A: Yes, this is a standard-sized Hawthorne strainer designed to fit perfectly with all professional Boston shaker tins and  mixing glasses.

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

A: We strongly recommend hand-washing only. The high temperatures and  harsh detergents in a dishwasher can damage or strip the copper plating over time.

Q: What exactly is a 'throwing strainer'?

A: It's a style of strainer with a longer, balanced handle, specifically designed to assist with the flair technique of 'throwing' a cocktail between two tins to aerate it.

Q: Will the copper finish tarnish or wear off?

A: With proper care (hand-washing and  drying), the high-quality plating is very durable. Like all plated items, it can show wear over years of heavy use or if cleaned with abrasive materials.

Q: Is the skull design just for looks or is it functional?

A: While the design is a standout feature, the tool is a fully functional, professional-grade Hawthorne strainer designed for efficient, clean pours.

Q: Is this too fancy for a home bar?

A: Not at all! It's a professional-quality tool that's perfect for any enthusiastic home mixologist looking to create bar-quality cocktails and  impress guests.

Q: How tight is the spring for straining?

A: The strainer features a very tightly coiled spring, designed to provide a fine strain that effectively catches small ice chips and  muddled ingredients.

More Than Just a Sieve: The Art of the Throwing Strainer

Ever wondered what makes a 'throwing strainer' different? It's all about technique. 'Throwing' a cocktail is a flair method where the bartender pours the liquid between two shaker tins from a distance to aerate it. This process chills and  mixes the drink without the 'bruising' that vigorous shaking can sometimes cause.

This Beaumont copper plated throwing strainer is specifically designed for this. Its long handle provides perfect balance and  a secure grip, while the robust frame and  tight coil give you complete control over the pour. Think of it like a professional artist's brush versus a standard paintbrush. While both can apply paint, one is engineered for specific, masterful strokes—and this strainer is engineered for the masterful art of mixology.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Boutique Cocktail Bars: Add a theatrical touch to your signature drinks and  reinforce a premium, craft aesthetic.
  • Trendy Gastropubs: Elevate your cocktail programme and  give your bartenders a tool they'll love to use.
  • Luxury Hotel Bars: Complement a sophisticated atmosphere and  provide a memorable detail for discerning guests.
  • Mobile Event Bartenders: A standout, professional tool that's durable and  adds instant credibility to your pop-up bar.
