Durable materials and ergonomic designs support reliable performance during peak service in any commercial bar.

• Specialist tools such as tweezers and lime wedgers to refine garnishing and presentation at the bar.
• Options in stainless steel and premium finishes like copper, gunmetal and matt colours to match your bar style.
• Complementary accessories available across the barware range, including shakers, cocktail sets and eco-friendly stirrers.

How to choose the right Cocktail Utensils

• Consider the style of drinks you serve most often and choose strainers, muddlers and spoons that match your cocktail menu.
• Check material quality, favouring stainless steel and robust plastics that withstand heavy use in commercial environments.
• Select utensil lengths to suit your glassware and shaker sizes, ensuring comfortable, efficient mixing and stirring.
• Match finishes such as copper, gunmetal or matt black to your existing barware and overall front of house look.
• Plan for service volume by keeping multiple strainers, spoons and muddlers on hand for busy shifts.
• Look for utensils that are easy to clean and compatible with your existing cleaning and hygiene routines.

Care and maintenance

• Wash cocktail utensils promptly after service, following manufacturer guidance on dishwasher safety where applicable.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals on plated or coloured finishes to prevent scratching and discolouration.
• Inspect strainers regularly for bent springs or damaged mesh and replace worn items to maintain clean pours.
• Dry stainless steel tools thoroughly to minimise water spots and reduce the risk of corrosion over time.
• Store bar spoons, muddlers and tweezers in organised caddies or rails to keep them clean and easy to access.
• Schedule periodic checks of your full barware kit so damaged or missing utensils are replaced before busy periods.
