Crafthouse Hawthorne Strainer

Yes, the Hawthorne design is versatile and fits most standard-sized mixing glasses and Boston shakers. Its spring mechanism is flexible enough to accommodate different rim diameters while ensuring a secure fit during the pour.

While the 18/10 stainless steel is rust-resistant, harsh dishwasher detergents and high-heat cycles can dull the finish and compromise the integrity of the spring mechanism over time. Hand-washing with mild soap and warm water is the best way to maintain its professional luster and longevity.

This strainer was developed with World Champion bartender Charles Joly, focusing on ergonomic balance and precise flow control. The 18/10 stainless steel construction offers a heavier, more substantial feel than standard stamped-metal strainers, providing better stability when straining cocktails.

Yes, the tightly coiled spring is designed to sit flush against the inside of your shaker or glass, effectively catching ice shards and larger fruit pulp. For cocktails with very fine ingredients or muddled herbs, you may want to use a fine-mesh strainer in addition to this one for a double-strained result.

The 5-inch length is a standard, professional size that provides excellent leverage and control regardless of hand size. It is designed to be held securely against the rim of your shaker with your index finger while you pour.
