Strainers for Shot Recipes
A good strainer keeps ice, pulp, and herb fragments out of the finished shot while preserving the clean texture you worked for during shaking or stirring. Start with a Hawthorne or julep style that fits your main vessel, then keep a fine-mesh option close by for especially polished pours.
