Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Serpent's Kiss', a popular cocktail lounge in Bristol, wanted to refresh its bar setup to create more of a 'wow' factor during service. They swapped their standard strainers for the Beaumont Skull Strainer to better match their edgy, speakeasy-inspired decor.
"We were looking for small details that make a big impact. This strainer immediately got our customers talking and taking photos. It's not just a tool, it's part of the show now. The quality is fantastic, and it has easily handled our busiest weekend nights without any issues."
Ben Carter – Head Mixologist
The bar noted a significant increase in social media tags from customers, which helped boost their online visibility and drew in new clientele intrigued by their unique presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this stainless steel cocktail strainer dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, its high-quality stainless steel construction makes it perfectly suitable for commercial dishwashers.
Q: Will this bar strainer for cocktails fit my Boston shaker?
A: It is designed to fit most standard-sized Boston shaker tins and glasses, providing a snug seal for straining.
Q: What exactly is a 'throwing strainer'?
A: It refers to a strainer with a longer, more balanced handle, designed to give mixologists better control and flair, especially when 'throwing' cocktails.
Q: Is the spring coil removable for thorough cleaning?
A: Yes, the coil can be detached from the strainer head, allowing for easy and hygienic cleaning of all parts.
Q: Is this professional cocktail strainer heavy?
A: It has a solid, reassuring weight that speaks to its quality, but it is well-balanced and not uncomfortably heavy for use during a long shift.
Q: Will the stainless steel finish tarnish or rust?
A: The commercial-grade stainless steel is highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and tarnishing, even with frequent use and exposure to citrus.
Q: Does the skull design get in the way or affect the pour?
A: Not at all. The design is purely aesthetic and sits on top. The strainer's function is handled by the coil and rim, ensuring a perfect pour.
Q: Can I use this for stirring as well as shaking?
A: This is a Hawthorne-style strainer, which is optimised for shaken drinks. For drinks stirred in a mixing glass, a Julep strainer is typically preferred.

You might see 'throwing strainer' and wonder what it means. It’s all about the long handle and balance. While any strainer filters ice, a throwing strainer is designed to give a mixologist superior control and flair, particularly for the 'throwing' technique of aerating a drink by pouring it between two tins from a height. Think of it like a professional chef's knife versus a standard kitchen knife. The extra length and ergonomic balance on this Beaumont CZ660 skull strainer provide a more stable grip, allowing for a smoother, more dramatic, and more confident performance behind the bar. It’s a small design choice that makes a big difference to the professional user.
