Weighted Heavy Julep Strainer | Stirred Cocktail Strainer in Stainless Steel, Solid Copper or Solid Brass

The O.G. Strainer. Now with Real Weight Behind It.

The julep strainer is one of the oldest bar tools in existence — originally designed to help you drink a mint julep without getting a mouthful of crushed ice, and now the go-to strainer for any stirred cocktail. Most julep strainers are lightweight and flimsy. This one isn’t. The heavy-gauge construction gives it the weight and stability that professional bartenders prefer: press it against the rim of your mixing glass and it stays put, giving you a clean, controlled pour every time. The perforated bowl holds back ice while letting liquid flow freely, and the hang hole in the handle keeps it organized and air-drying between drinks. Available in three finishes — stainless steel, 100% solid copper, and 100% solid brass — each with the same weighted construction and Bull In China B logo engraved on the handle.

• Weighted Heavy-Gauge Construction: Substantial heft keeps the strainer firmly seated against the mixing glass rim during pouring — no slipping, no shifting.
• Perforated Bowl: Evenly spaced perforations hold back ice and solids while allowing liquid to flow cleanly into the serving glass.
• Hang Hole Handle: Practical hole at the top of the handle for hanging storage between drinks — keeps your bar organized and the strainer air-drying properly.
• 100% Solid Copper and Solid Brass Options: No plating, no coating — solid metal all the way through. Develops natural patina with use.
• Bull In China B Logo: Engraved on the handle — a mark of quality craftsmanship.
• Mixing Glass Compatible: Works seamlessly with the Bull In China Flagship Mixing Glass and most standard mixing glass sizes.

Built for Stirred Cocktails. Sized for the Rail.

Manhattans, Negronis, Martinis, Vieux Carrés, Old Fashioneds — any stirred cocktail that goes from mixing glass to serving glass benefits from a julep strainer with real weight and a well-fitted bowl. The stainless steel finish is the classic choice for any bar aesthetic. 100% solid copper adds warmth and pairs naturally with the Bull In China solid copper jigger and Hawthorne strainer. 100% solid brass coordinates with the brass and antique brass bar tool lineup — and like all solid metal, it develops character and patina over time. All three share the same weighted construction and hang hole handle.
