Expert Review and  Insights

In a world of standard-issue bar kit, the Beaumont Scorpion really stands out from the crowd. It feels solid in the hand, and  the straining coil is tight and  effective. But let's be honest, you're buying this for the looks, and  it absolutely delivers on that front. It's a proper conversation starter that shows you take presentation seriously.

  • Instant Wow-Factor: The unique design immediately elevates the look of your cocktail-making process.
  • Hand-Wash Recommended: Its detailed design is best preserved by hand-washing rather than a harsh commercial dishwasher.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Serpent's Sip, a new speakeasy-style bar in the heart of Cardiff, wanted their bar staff's equipment to reflect their theatrical, mystical theme. Standard bar tools felt flat and  didn't match the ambiance they were carefully curating for their patrons.

"We didn't just want tools; we wanted props that performed. The Scorpion Strainer was an instant hit. Customers film us making their drinks now. It’s functional, feels great to use, and  has become a core part of our bar's visual identity. The quality is immediately obvious."

Samuel Jones – Bar Manager

The investment in distinctive barware like the Scorpion strainer directly contributed to a 30% increase in social media tags and  mentions within their first three months of opening.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the strainer a quick wash in warm, soapy water.
  • Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
  • Dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and  maintain its shine.
  • It's now ready to fit snugly on your Boston shaker or mixing glass.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, rinse with cold water immediately after each use to prevent residue from drying on.
  • We recommend hand-washing to protect the intricate design and  polished finish.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners which could scratch the steel.
  • Store it dry in a utensil holder or on a bar mat to ensure it's ready for the next service.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Barware

Not sure which tools will serve you best? Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting professional barware.

Material Matters

Always opt for food-grade stainless steel. It’s the industry standard for a reason: it's durable, won't impart flavours, and  resists rust and  corrosion, even with acidic ingredients.

Style vs. Substance

Eye-catching tools like this Scorpion strainer are fantastic, but make sure they're also functional. Check that they are well-balanced, comfortable to hold, and  built for a busy environment.

Consider Your Drinks Menu

Your choice of strainer depends on your cocktails. Hawthorn strainers (like this one) are versatile for shakers, while Julep strainers are better for stirred drinks in mixing glasses.

Ease of Cleaning

In a fast-paced bar, every second counts. Look for tools that can be cleaned quickly and  efficiently between orders to maintain hygiene and  speed of service.

Brand Reputation

Choosing a trusted brand like Beaumont gives you peace of mind. They have a long-standing reputation for producing reliable, high-quality equipment designed for the UK hospitality trade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this cocktail strainer dishwasher safe?

A: While it is made of stainless steel, we strongly recommend hand-washing to preserve the detailed design and  polished finish for years to come.

Q: What type of shaker does the Beaumont Scorpion strainer fit?

A: It's designed as a Hawthorn-style strainer, making it a perfect fit for standard Boston shaker tins and  most mixing glasses.

Q: What exactly is a 'throwing strainer'?

A: It's a term for a Hawthorn strainer with a good handle, which provides the control and  stability needed for the 'throwing' technique—aerating a drink by pouring it between two vessels.

Q: Will the stainless steel rust over time?

A: No, it's crafted from high-quality stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and  corrosion, especially when cleaned and  dried properly after use.

Q: How does this differ from a Julep or fine mesh strainer?

A: This Hawthorn strainer is for keeping large ice chunks in the shaker. A Julep strainer is for stirred drinks, and  a fine mesh strainer is for 'double straining' to remove tiny ice shards or fruit pulp.

Q: Is the material food-grade?

A: Yes, all professional barware from Beaumont is made with food-grade materials suitable for commercial use.

Q: Is the scorpion design just a sticker?

A: No, the ornate design is part of the metal construction itself, not a sticker or print that will wear off.

Q: Is it heavy to use during a long shift?

A: Not at all. It's designed to be lightweight (at just 0.14kg) and  ergonomic to minimise wrist and  hand fatigue during busy periods.
