  • Top-Tier Filtering: The fine mesh provides a flawless strain, ideal for high-end cocktails.
  • Handle with Care: The gorgeous finish needs hand-washing to prevent scratches from commercial dishwashers.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Alchemist's Corner, a popular gin bar in York, recently undertook a complete refurbishment to create a more intimate, speakeasy-style atmosphere. They needed their bar tools to match the new dark, atmospheric décor and  elevate the perception of their craft cocktails.

"We moved away from standard chrome tools because they just didn't fit the new vibe. The Olympia gunmetal range, especially this fine mesh strainer, was perfect. It looks incredible, feels professional, and  our customers often comment on the quality of our barware. It makes the whole drink-making process part of the show."

Michael Davies – Bar Manager

The upgrade resulted in a more cohesive and  premium aesthetic, directly contributing to a 15% increase in signature cocktail sales as customers were drawn to the theatre of the mixology.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack from its protective sleeve upon arrival.
  • Give it a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Rinse completely and  dry with a soft, clean cloth.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results and  to protect the finish, always hand-wash this item.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical detergents.
  • Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots on the gunmetal finish.
  • Store carefully to avoid scratching it against other metal tools.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bar Strainer

Not sure which strainer suits your style? Here’s a quick rundown to help you pick the perfect tool for your bar.

Strainer Type

This is a fine mesh (or conical) strainer. It’s designed for 'double straining' alongside a Hawthorne strainer to remove the smallest particles for an ultra-smooth finish.

Finish & Style

Consider your bar's aesthetic. A gunmetal finish offers a modern, sophisticated look that stands out from standard stainless steel and  adds a touch of drama.

Handling & Ergonomics

Look for a long handle for good balance and  a built-in rest. This allows the strainer to sit securely on the glass, freeing up your hands and  preventing spills.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for its hygiene and  durability. The PVD coating on this strainer adds a stylish, protective layer.

Build a Collection

Check if the strainer is part of a wider range. Using a matching set of jiggers, shakers, and  spoons, like the Olympia gunmetal collection, creates a highly professional look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is 'double straining' and  why do I need this for it?

A: Double straining is a technique where you pour a drink from a shaker through a regular strainer (like a Hawthorne) and then through this fine mesh strainer into the glass. It removes tiny ice chips and  fruit pulp for the smoothest possible texture.

Q: Is this strainer dishwasher safe?

A: To preserve the integrity and  look of the gunmetal finish, we strongly recommend hand washing with a soft cloth and  mild detergent.

Q: What is a gunmetal finish?

A: It's a type of PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating applied to the stainless steel. It’s durable and  gives the tool its dark, sleek, and  modern appearance.

Q: Will the finish chip or peel off?

A: The PVD coating is very durable for commercial use. With proper care (i.e., no abrasive washing or dropping), it will maintain its finish for a very long time.

Q: Is the handle long enough for large mixing glasses?

A: Yes, with a total length of 200mm, it's designed to work comfortably with all standard shakers and  mixing glasses.

Q: Is this a Hawthorne or a Julep strainer?

A: It's neither; this is a fine mesh or conical strainer. It’s designed to be used in addition to a Hawthorne or Julep strainer for ultimate filtration.

Q: How heavy is it?

A: It's very light, weighing only 70 grams. This makes it easy to handle throughout a long and  busy shift without causing any strain.

Q: Can I use this for straining anything other than cocktails?

A: Absolutely. It's great for straining loose-leaf tea infusions, homemade syrups, or any liquid where you want a perfectly clear result.

Why a Fine Mesh Strainer is a Mixologist's Secret Weapon

Ever wondered why a cocktail made by a pro tastes so much smoother? A fine mesh bar strainer is often the secret. While your shaker's built-in strainer (or a Hawthorne strainer) catches the big chunks of ice, the fine mesh is designed to catch all the tiny, unwelcome extras: minute ice shards that water down the drink, small bits of fruit pulp, and  muddled herb fragments. Think of it like a high-definition filter for your drinks. It’s the difference between a rustic, home-style lemonade with bits in and  a crystal-clear, professionally-made one. This final, quick step, known as 'double straining', is what separates a good drink from a great one, giving it that silky, luxurious mouthfeel that customers remember.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cocktail Bars & Speakeasies: To deliver impeccably smooth, professional-grade cocktails that justify a premium price point.
  • High-End Hotels: For equipping the bar with stylish, durable tools that reflect the establishment's quality standards.
  • Mobile Bar Services: A lightweight, visually impressive tool that adds a touch of class to any event setup.
  • Gastropubs & Restaurants: For ensuring consistency and  quality in every drink served from the bar, from classics to signatures.
