Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Blind Tiger, a speakeasy-style bar in a hidden Leeds laneway, needed its barware to reflect its edgy, meticulously crafted atmosphere. They replaced their standard strainers with the Beaumont Skull model to add a final flourish to their cocktail-making process.

"Our customers notice everything, and  the barware is part of the theatre. This skull bar strainer gets comments every single night. It’s not just a tool; it's part of the show and  reinforces our brand perfectly."

Michael Davies – Bar Manager

The new strainers led to a noticeable increase in customers filming the cocktail-making process, boosting the bar's organic social media presence.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give it a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Check that the spring is seated correctly against the strainer plate.
  • Practise a few pours with your favourite shaker to get a feel for the balance.

Keeping It Going

  • Rinse immediately after each use to prevent sugary syrups or fruit pulp from sticking.
  • For a deep clean, the spring can be carefully removed for separate washing.
  • Polish with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to keep the stainless steel gleaming.
  • Always store it dry to maintain its finish and  prevent water spots.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Cocktail Strainer

Feeling a bit shaken about which strainer to choose? Here’s a quick stir of advice to help you pick the perfect one.

Style vs. Speed

Julep strainers are for stirred drinks in mixing glasses, while Hawthorne strainers (like this one) are the go-to for shaken drinks from tins. This skull strainer is a Hawthorne-style, perfect for fast, efficient straining.

The Spring is Key

Look for a tightly coiled spring. This is your gatekeeper, stopping tiny ice shards and  muddled herbs from sneaking into the glass. A tighter coil means a cleaner, more professional-looking drink.

Balance and  Comfort

A great strainer should feel like an extension of your hand. This Beaumont stainless steel throwing strainer is weighted for comfort and  control, even during the busiest of shifts.

Aesthetics and  Branding

Your barware is part of your brand's personality. A unique design like this cocktail skull strainer can make your service more memorable and  shareable for customers.

Ease of Cleaning

Stainless steel is the undisputed champion of barware materials. It's non-porous, incredibly durable, and  simple to sanitise, ensuring top hygiene standards are met with ease.

What Makes a 'Throwing Strainer' Different?

Ever seen a bartender pour a drink between two tins in a mesmerising arc? That's called 'throwing' or 'rolling', and  it's what this strainer is built for. Unlike a standard strainer that just sits on the shaker, a throwing strainer is balanced specifically for this pro technique. Think of it as a juggling act for cocktails! The process aerates the drink more intensely than shaking, creating a smoother, silkier texture, especially in spirit-forward drinks. This Beaumont cocktail strainer has the perfect weight and  ergonomic shape to make mastering that crowd-pleasing flair a whole lot easier, giving you more control over the final product.

  • Boutique Cocktail Bars: Add a unique, rebellious edge to your bar tool collection and  impress your guests.
  • High-Volume Pubs: Equip your team with a durable and  memorable tool that can handle the weekend rush.
