Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

'The Alchemist's Nook,' a popular cocktail spot in Bristol, needed to streamline its bar service. Their bartenders were struggling with standard round strainers that would often slip on their mixing tins, causing spills and  slowing them down during peak hours.

"The Olympia triangular strainer was an instant improvement. It just sits perfectly still on the shaker, which means our team can pour with more speed and  confidence. No more annoying slips or drips when we're three-deep at the bar on a Saturday night."

Ben Carter – Bar Manager

The simple switch in equipment allowed the bar to reduce waste from spills and  increase the number of drinks served during peak hours by an estimated 15%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack and  give it a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • The strainer is ready to go straight out of the box – no assembly required!
  • Pair it with your favourite mixing glass or shaker tin to feel how securely it rests on the rim.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, rinse the strainer immediately after use to prevent sugary syrups from drying on.
  • It is fully dishwasher safe, making your end-of-night cleanup routine much faster.
  • To maintain the beautiful mirror finish, polish with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after washing.
  • Avoid using abrasive metal scourers, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Barware Strainer

Not sure which strainer suits your style? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the perfect tool for the job.

Hawthorne vs. Julep vs. Fine Mesh

A Hawthorne (like this triangular one) is your versatile all-rounder for straining from shakers. A Julep strainer is designed for stirred drinks in a mixing glass, and  a fine mesh strainer is for 'double straining' to catch tiny particles for an ultra-smooth finish.

Check the Fit and  Stability

Ensure your strainer is compatible with your shakers. A strainer that wobbles is a recipe for spills. The unique triangular shape of this model offers fantastic stability on a wide range of tin and  glass sizes.

Prioritise Easy Cleaning

In a busy bar, time is precious. A dishwasher-safe stainless steel strainer like this one saves you valuable minutes on cleanup every single shift, which really adds up.

Material Matters

Always look for high-quality, food-grade stainless steel. It’s tough enough for commercial use, won't rust, and  most importantly, won’t impart any unwanted metallic flavours into your drinks.

The Importance of the Coil

A tightly wound spring coil is crucial. It creates a better seal inside the shaker, giving you a cleaner, more controlled pour by holding back more ice chips and  pulp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this triangular cocktail strainer fit a standard Boston shaker?

A: Yes, its versatile design fits most standard Boston shakers and  mixing glasses perfectly, providing a stable base for pouring.

Q: Is the spring coil removable for cleaning?

A: The coil is fixed to the strainer to ensure maximum durability and  stability. The entire unit is fully dishwasher safe, allowing for easy and  thorough hygienic cleaning.

Q: What is the main benefit of a triangular strainer over a round one?

A: The triangular shape provides three secure points of contact on the rim of a glass or shaker. This makes it far more stable and  prevents it from slipping or wobbling during a pour.

Q: Is this strainer suitable for a busy commercial bar?

A: Absolutely. It is made from durable stainless steel and  specifically designed to withstand the demands and  pace of a high-volume professional environment.

Q: Does the stainless steel leave a metallic taste in drinks?

A: No, it's crafted from high-quality, food-grade stainless steel, which is non-reactive and  will not affect the flavour profile of your cocktails.

Q: How fine is the straining? Will it block small pips or seeds?

A: The spring coil is designed to block ice shards and  larger muddled ingredients. For an exceptionally fine strain to remove tiny seeds or herb fragments, we recommend 'double straining' through this and  a fine conical strainer.

Q: Is the handle comfortable to hold securely?

A: Yes, it features an ergonomic tab that is easy to grip and  control with a finger, providing excellent stability even when your hands are wet.

Q: Can this be used for 'dry shaking' cocktails without ice?

A: Yes, it works perfectly for holding back citrus while dry shaking to create a fantastic foam on egg white cocktails like a classic Whiskey Sour.
