The first Julep strainers were made of silver and were typically small and delicate, with a perforated bowl and a long handle. They were primarily used by professional bartenders and wealthy homeowners who wanted to impress their guests with fancy cocktails.
Over time, the Julep strainer became more widely used and was adopted by bartenders around the world. As cocktail culture grew in popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Julep strainer became a staple tool in most bar setups.
How do you pour with Julep Strainer?
Pouring with a Julep strainer is a simple process that can help to ensure a smooth and consistent cocktail. Here are the steps to pour with a Julep strainer:
-
After you have shaken or stirred your cocktail, place the Julep strainer on top of your shaker or mixing glass. The bowl of the strainer should be facing downwards, and the handle should be facing upwards.
-
Using your index finger, press down on the top of the strainer to ensure a tight seal.
-
Hold the shaker or mixing glass with one hand and the Julep strainer with the other hand, and slowly pour the cocktail through the strainer into your serving glass. The Julep strainer should catch any ice or large solids in the shaker, ensuring a smooth and consistent cocktail.
-
Once all of the cocktails has been poured, remove the Julep strainer and set it aside.
-
Serve and enjoy your perfectly strained cocktail!
It is worth noting that Julep strainers are typically used with mixing glasses or other vessels that are larger than a standard cocktail shaker. This allows for a larger surface area and makes it easier to strain the cocktail effectively.
Additionally, Julep strainers are typically used to strain cocktails that are stirred rather than shaken, as shaken cocktails tend to have more ice and small solids that require a different type of strainer, such as a Hawthorne strainer.
