Shaken or Stirred all cocktails need to be strained. Our bar tool recommendation of the week is a Hawthorne Strainer. the coils are tighter which helps keep the ice out of your glass. http://www.thebostonshaker.com/shop/4-prong-hawthorne-cocktail-strainer/dp/340

This is your standard, restaurant supply store grade Hawthorne Cocktail Strainer. 4 Prongs help keep it on top of the shaker tin. Fits a most shaker tin sizes as well as snugly in a 16 oz. mixing glass should you not have a julep strainer around.

Great cocktails are not just about the amazing ingredients; we need quality & accurate tools. The Bar tool recommendation of the week is a Jigger. Pick up a two sided jigger with 1/2 ounce on one side & 3/4 ounce on the other. http://www.cocktailkingdom.com/all-barware/jiggers/japanese-style-jigger-oz-oz-221.html

At Cocktail Kingdom we have gone to great lengths to ensure our jiggers are accurate. This Cocktail Kingdom original is 1/2oz (15ml) on one side and 3/4oz (22ml) on the other. Also has a 1/4oz (7.5ml) etching on the inside.
