- A tool used to strain cocktails out of a cocktail shaker or mixing glass into the serving glass. Cocktail strainers are typically broken into three categories:
- Hawthorne strainers, which are used for straining shaken cocktails as the size of the opening can be adjusted
- Julep strainers, which are typically used for straining stirred cocktails
- mesh strainers, which are used when double-straining to remove small shards of ice or pulp
