Cocktail Strainer: It is a specialized tool that is designed specifically for cocktail making. It differs from other types of strainers in a few key ways such as, design, type, and shape.
-
Mesh Strainer: This type of strainer features a fine mesh screen, which allows it to catch even the smallest particles, such as seeds or pulp. This makes it particularly useful for straining delicate liquids or liquids that have small, solid particles in them.

How to choose strainer?
Choosing a strainer depends on the specific task you need it for. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a strainer:

-
Size: Consider the size of the strainer in relation to the task at hand. If you are straining a large pot of soup, you will need a larger strainer than if you are straining a single cup of tea.
-
Type: There are different types of strainers, each designed for different tasks. For example, a mesh strainer is best for straining small particles from liquids, while a colander is best for draining larger solids like pasta.
-
Price: Strainers can range in price from a few dollars to over $50. Consider how often you will use the strainer and whether it's worth investing in a higher quality strainer for frequent use.
