Winco Stainless Steel 4-Prong Bar Strainer

Good quality, works as intended

Well-made, good price. Fits snugly on a Boston shaker. I like the four tabs that hold it in place.

For several years, I worked at a restaurant. I learned how to do it all - cook, clean, serve - but maybe most importantly, make excellent drinks.I never thought too much about what I was using to make those drinks until I left the restaurant industry. One day I was making drinks at my apartment, using a "julep" strainer (basically a spoon with holes in it), and I was extremely frustrated. Julep strainers spill, strain poorly, they're just a mess overall. I'm sure there's a better way to use them and I was just doing it wrong, but come on. After your third drink you want something that just worksSo I bought a Hawthorne strainer, the pinnacle of drink-making engineering, and threw out the other one. If you're typing, use a keyboard. If you're walking, wear shoes. If you're making a cocktail, the right tools matter—you need a Hawthorne strainer. It’s not even a question.This particular one was fine. The spring is attached, the metal is durable, and the size is correct.Side note: never, ever get a cobbler shaker. You can get away with a Parisian (two metal cups), but your best bet is a Boston shaker: one glass, one metal cup. You fill the glass with ice, pour your liquor, and actually see what the hell you’re doing.

I needed to feed the spring back on when it arrived, but it works great and fits my drink mix pitcher and shaker perfectly! Handle could be a bit longer. Great price!

This cocktail strainer fits well with our existing mixer.

good quality

The media could not be loaded. Quality of this is top notch for the price. It strained my cocktail perfectly leaving out the muddled basil! It’s a standard size and feels like great quality. It’s not too heavy.
