Fine-Straining Cocktails

What’s with the kitchenware behind the bar?  We’re making drinks back here not prepping pasta for a large Spaghetti dinner!  Relax Max what you’re looking at is a fine mesh strainer that is used to clarify a cocktail’s appearance.  Though this is not always paramount when building the majority of cocktails, it is used in several old classics.  These include the Pisco Sour, Champs-Elysees, Brown Derby, and PDT’s own Witch’s Kiss, okay not all of them are old.  Conical and tightly patterned these strains don’t take up much room and can be found at any home goods store or restaurant supply shop.  This place has them on sale for under $10 in matte black!
