When clarity matters
For sours, daisies, and citrus-forward shaken cocktails, double straining is a small step that makes a visible difference. The Hawthorne strainer does most of the work. The tea strainer finishes the job by catching the fine particles that cloud the drink and give it a rougher texture. It takes one extra second and the result is a noticeably cleaner pour.

Yes. Stainless steel construction handles the dishwasher fine, though hand rinsing right after use keeps the mesh clear.
