HIC Cocktail Hawthorne Strainer

A Hawthorne strainer is designed to sit on top of your mixing glass or shaker to filter out ice, fruit pulp, and muddled herbs as you pour your cocktail into a serving glass. It ensures a smooth, clean drink without unwanted bits or dilution.

The 6 x 3.75-inch design is a standard size that fits most common Boston shakers and mixing glasses. However, if you are using an unusually small or non-standard shaker, the spring mechanism may not seat perfectly, so it is best to check your shaker's diameter.

Yes, this strainer is crafted from 18/8 stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. It is built to withstand frequent use in a home bar environment without retaining flavors or odors from previous drinks.

Yes, this strainer is dishwasher safe. Because of its spring design, it is a good idea to place it in the utensil basket or on the top rack to ensure it gets cleaned thoroughly without getting snagged on other items.

The tightly coiled spring does an excellent job of catching larger ice shards and fruit chunks. For very fine ingredients like small mint leaves, you may still get a few flecks in your glass, which is common for most standard Hawthorne strainers.
