This Stainless Steel Julep Strainer (SLJS031) is brought to you by Thunder Group. A cocktail strainer is a great bar accessory used to remove ice from a mixed drink after it has been shaken or stirred and while it is being poured into the glass. They have holes small enough that only liquid can be poured out. There are two main types of strainers. The Julep is one, it’s concave and circular with a handle, and will fit tightly into a mixing glass when on an angle. The concave part of the strainer is perforated with several dozen small holes. This strainer's body and spring are made of stainless steel.
