Expert Review and  Insights

The Bonzer Hawthorne is a classic for a reason. It feels sturdy in the hand, and  the two ears give it a really solid purchase on the rim of a shaker tin, which is crucial when you're working quickly. It’s a no-nonsense piece of kit that does exactly what it promises, delivering a clean strain without any fuss. A true pub and  bar essential.

Freddie Wallace – Pub Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The two prongs provide excellent stability on any standard shaker tin.
  • Consideration: The coil is tight, so it may need a thorough rinse between different drinks.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Alchemist's Corner, a popular cocktail spot in Leeds, was looking to improve the speed and  consistency of its bar service. Their old, mismatched strainers were causing spills and  slowing down the team during peak hours.

"We kitted out all our stations with the Bonzer CY054. The difference was immediate. The stability of the two prongs means our newer staff are more confident, and  our veteran mixologists can work even faster. It's a small change that made a big operational impact."

Robert Green – Bar Manager

After the switch, the bar noted a significant reduction in drink prep time, allowing them to serve more customers during the crucial weekend rush.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give it a good wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Check that the coil spring is sitting snugly against the base.
  • It's designed to fit standard Boston shakers and  mixing glasses right out of the box.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, rinse with cold water immediately after each use to prevent residue from sticking.
  • The strainer is fully dishwasher safe for a thorough, hygienic clean at the end of a shift.
  • Always store it dry to maintain its polished stainless steel finish and  prevent water spots.
  • You can remove the coil spring for a deep clean every now and  then.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bar Strainer

Not sure which strainer is for you? Here's a quick rundown to help you decide.

Hawthorne vs. Julep

A Hawthorne (like this one) is used for straining from a shaker tin. A Julep strainer is shaped like a large spoon and  is best for stirring and  straining from a mixing glass.

The Importance of Prongs

Look for strainers with two or four 'ears' or prongs. They provide stability on the rim of the shaker, preventing spills and  giving you a more controlled pour.

Material Matters

Always opt for high-grade stainless steel. It’s durable, won't impart any flavour to your drinks, and  resists rust and  corrosion from acidic cocktail ingredients.

Consider the Coil

A tighter coil spring will catch finer ice chips and  fruit pulp, resulting in a smoother drink. Some coils are removable for easier, more thorough cleaning.

Ease of Cleaning

In a busy bar, speed is everything. A strainer that can be quickly rinsed between drinks or is dishwasher safe is a massive advantage for your workflow.

In a profession where speed, precision, and  presentation are paramount, the Bonzer CY054 isn't an expense; it's an asset that supports a faster, more professional, and  more profitable service.

Why Two Prongs Are Better Than One: Understanding Strainer Stability

Ever seen a bartender spill a drink while straining? It often happens because their strainer slipped. The 'two-pronged' design of this Hawthorne strainer is a simple but brilliant solution to that problem. These two metal 'ears' rest on opposite sides of the shaker's rim, creating a stable, secure platform that won't rock or slide as you pour.

Think of it like trying to balance on a seesaw. If you only have one point of contact in the middle, it's wobbly. But with two points of contact, like the two prongs, it creates a solid, unmoving base. This means you can pour quickly and  confidently, even with a full shaker, ensuring every drop of that perfectly crafted cocktail ends up in the glass, not on the bar top.
