Expert Review and  Insights

In a busy pub environment, you need gear that’s tough, reliable, and  does the job without any fuss. The Mezclar throwing strainer is exactly that. It feels solid in your hand, fits snugly on a standard shaker tin, and  the spring is tight enough to hold back muddled fruit and  ice. It’s a proper workhorse that looks the part, too.

  • Performance: The coil is one of the best for catching fine ice chips.
  • Aesthetics: The high-polish finish needs a quick wipe to avoid fingerprints.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The speakeasy-style 'Velvet Curtain' bar in Manchester's Northern Quarter needed to improve the speed and  consistency of their complex cocktail menu during packed weekend services. Their existing strainers were flimsy and  difficult to clean quickly.

"We switched all our bartenders to the Beaumont Mezclar tools. The difference was immediate. The strainers are robust, they fit our shakers perfectly, and  the removable spring means we can clean them properly between drinks, preventing flavour contamination. Our cocktails are cleaner, and  the team is happier."

Isla Campbell – Bar Manager

The upgrade helped reduce average cocktail preparation time by over 10% during peak hours, improving workflow and  customer satisfaction.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Ensure the spring is seated correctly and  tightly around the strainer's rim.
  • Check that it creates a good seal against your preferred shaker tin.
  • Polish with a dry, soft cloth to give it a professional shine on your bar top.

Keeping It Going

  • Rinse under running water immediately after each use to prevent residue from drying.
  • For a deep clean, remove the spring and  wash both parts separately.
  • While dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the polished finish long-term.
  • Use the handle hole to hang the strainer, allowing it to air dry completely and  keep your workspace clear.

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.

Hawthorne vs. Julep

The Beaumont Mezclar is a Hawthorne strainer, identifiable by its spring. It's the all-rounder, perfect for straining shaken drinks from a tin. A Julep strainer is a perforated spoon shape, traditionally used for stirred drinks in a mixing glass.

Fit is Everything

Ensure your strainer fits your shaker tins. A good fit means no gaps for ice or fruit to escape through, giving you a cleaner pour. This model is designed for standard Boston shakers.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason. It's durable, won't impart flavours, resists rust, and  is easy to clean. A polished finish looks great but may need more frequent wiping than a brushed steel version.

Consider the Handle

You'll be holding this all night. An ergonomic handle that feels balanced and  comfortable is a must for reducing fatigue during a long and  busy shift.

The Spring Quality

Look for a tightly coiled spring. The tighter the coil, the better it will be at catching small ice chips and  muddled ingredients, resulting in a smoother, more refined final drink.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this fit a standard Boston shaker tin?

A: Yes, it's specifically designed to fit snugly on standard professional Boston shaker tins for a clean, controlled pour.

Q: Is the Beaumont Mezclar throwing strainer dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it is. However, to maintain its brilliant polished finish for longer, we recommend a quick hand wash and  polish.

Q: What is a 'throwing strainer' used for?

A: The name comes from the 'throwing' technique of pouring a drink between two tins to chill and  aerate it. This strainer is robust enough for that, but it's primarily used as a standard Hawthorne strainer for shaken drinks.

Q: Will the stainless steel rust over time?

A: The high-grade stainless steel used offers excellent resistance to rust and  corrosion, even in a busy, wet bar environment.

Q: How effective is the spring at catching small bits of mint or fruit?

A: The tight coil is very effective at catching larger pieces and  ice shards. For an absolutely flawless texture, many professionals double-strain by pouring through this strainer and  a fine mesh sieve simultaneously.

Q: Is the handle comfortable to use for a whole shift?

A: Absolutely. It has been designed with an ergonomic shape and  good balance to ensure it remains comfortable in the hand, even during the busiest service periods.

Q: Can I buy a replacement spring if mine gets damaged?

A: The spring is designed to be durable and  long-lasting. Currently, replacement springs are not sold separately, as the entire unit is built for longevity.

Q: What is the main difference between this and  a cheaper, non-branded strainer?

A: The main differences are build quality, material grade, and  design. Beaumont is a trusted brand known for durability, a better-fitting design, and  a tighter spring for a more professional result.

Why a Removable Spring is a Bartender's Best Friend

You might see 'removable spring' and  just think it's for cleaning, but it's much more than that. Think of it like the filter in a high-end coffee machine. Being able to completely remove the spring allows you to get into every nook and  cranny, ensuring there's no sticky residue or tiny herb fragments left behind. This is crucial for hygiene and  flavour purity. It means the subtle, smoky notes from an Old Fashioned won't be tainted by the lingering mint oils from the previous Mojito you made. It's a simple feature that guarantees every single cocktail you serve tastes exactly as it should, every single time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Boutique Cocktail Bars: Essential for crafting premium drinks with a flawless, professional finish that justifies a higher price point.
  • High-End Restaurants: Perfect for the bar team to produce consistent, high-quality aperitifs and  after-dinner cocktails for diners.
  • Gastropubs & Inns: An easy upgrade to elevate your drinks offering beyond the standard and  impress your regulars.
  • Mobile Bar Services: A durable, reliable, and  easy-to-clean tool that’s perfect for events, weddings, and  pop-ups.
