What is a mesh strainer used for?
Mesh strainers are especially useful when working with ingredients such as fresh citrus juice, which can contain small bits of pulp or seeds that can affect the texture and appearance of the cocktail. It helps to ensure that the cocktail is perfectly strained and free of any unwanted particles, resulting in a smooth and enjoyable drinking experience.
What is the difference between a mesh strainer and a fine mesh strainer?
A mesh strainer typically has larger openings, and it's useful for removing large pieces of ice, fruit, or other ingredients from a shaken cocktail or for straining out larger particles like pulp from juice.
On the other hand, a fine mesh strainer has smaller openings, and it's useful for straining smaller particles like herbs, spices, or tiny ice chips from a stirred cocktail. This is important because stirred cocktails typically have a smoother texture and should be free of any unwanted small particles.
While both types of strainers are useful in cocktail making, a fine mesh strainer is typically used more often because it is better at removing the smaller particles that can affect the taste and appearance of a cocktail. A mesh strainer is still an important tool to have in a bar, but it is often used in conjunction with a fine mesh strainer for a thorough straining process.
