Fine Strainer

A small conical mesh sieve held under the main strainer to catch tiny ice shards, herb fragments and fruit seeds. This is called double straining.

How to Use a Fine Strainer

  1. Hold the fine strainer over the glass.
  2. Pour through both the Hawthorne strainer and the fine strainer.
  3. Tap the side to let the last of the drink through.

Tip

Double strain any drink with herbs, fruit or egg that is served without ice.

What to Look For

Fine mesh, a sturdy rim and a short handle.
