Calabrese Hawthorne Cocktail Strainer

The no-prong design is a specific choice by Salvatore Calabrese to create a cleaner, more streamlined straining process. It allows the tool to sit flush against the mixing glass or shaker, ensuring a tighter seal and more precise pour without the obstruction of traditional prongs.

Yes, it is built for professional environments. The strainer is crafted from high-grade 18/8 Japanese stainless steel, which provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance. While the copper plating is robust, it is a decorative finish that requires proper care to maintain its luster.

To preserve the polished copper finish, this strainer must be hand washed only. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents, as these can scratch or strip the plating over time; simply rinse with warm, soapy water and dry immediately with a soft cloth.

The divot is an ergonomic feature designed to provide a secure, comfortable grip. It helps you maintain better control while pouring, preventing the strainer from slipping during high-volume service.

With a width of 11.5cm, this strainer is designed to fit most standard professional mixing glasses and cocktail shakers. Its flexible spring mechanism allows it to adapt to different rim sizes effectively.
