  • This product is Made in Britain

The Bonzer Hawthorne Strainer is a traditional two-ear cocktail strainer designed to sit securely across a mixing glass or shaker tin during pouring. It is made in the UK and finished in electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), a material long associated with Bonzer's heritage in silverware production dating back to the 1930s.

The oversized spring is a practical detail that matters in service. It creates a tighter seal across the rim and reduces the chance of ice or fruit fragments passing through during a pour — useful when speed and consistency are both expected at the bar. The two-ear design provides a stable resting position on most standard mixing vessels without slipping during use.

In day-to-day bar use, this strainer holds up well in environments where tools are handled repeatedly across a long service. The silver plate finish retains its appearance with straightforward cleaning and gives the piece a professional look that suits both back-bar display and active service. Key practical points include:

  • Oversized spring reduces ice and pulp passing through during pouring
  • Two-ear design rests securely on standard mixing glasses and tins
  • EPNS finish is durable and maintains appearance with regular cleaning
  • UK manufacture to consistent dimensional tolerances

This strainer is well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, and restaurant operations where both function and presentation matter. It is a single-purpose tool — operators needing a julep strainer for stirred drinks or a fine-mesh strainer for double-straining should consider those separately. For operations requiring a larger volume of bar tools or a full kit, it is worth discussing requirements before ordering to ensure the right combination.

If you have questions about bar tool selection or fitting out a new bar operation, the team is happy to help you choose correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Will this strainer fit standard cocktail shaker tins and mixing glasses?

The two-ear design is sized to rest across most standard mixing glasses and Boston shaker tins used in commercial bar environments. If you are using non-standard or oversized vessels, it is worth checking the rim diameter against the strainer before ordering.

Is the EPNS finish suitable for high-volume commercial bar use?

Electroplated nickel silver is a well-established finish for commercial bar tools and holds up reliably under regular use when cleaned and stored correctly. It is not intended for dishwasher use in most cases — hand washing will preserve the finish for longer.

Does this strainer work for double-straining cocktails?

The Hawthorne strainer is the primary strainer in a double-strain setup, used in combination with a separate fine-mesh strainer held over the glass. It is not a fine-mesh strainer itself, so operators who require double-straining capability will need both types.
