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

The O.G. Bar Tool. Now in Solid Copper and Solid Brass.

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 preferred strainer for any stirred cocktail. Bull In China’s version gets two things right that most don’t: it’s made from solid copper or solid brass (not plated, not composite — solid all the way through), and it has real weight to it. That weight matters. A heavy strainer sits firmly against the rim of your mixing glass without shifting, 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.

• Solid Copper or Solid Brass: No plating, no composite materials — solid metal construction that develops natural patina and character over time.
• Weighted Design: 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 while allowing liquid to flow cleanly into the serving glass.
• Hang Hole Handle: Practical hole in the handle for hanging storage between drinks — keeps your bar organized and the strainer air-drying properly.
• Bull In China B Logo: Engraved on the handle — a subtle mark of quality craftsmanship.
• Mixing Glass Compatible: Fits snugly into standard mixing glasses for clean, drip-free pours.

The Right Strainer for Every Stirred Cocktail

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. Choose solid brass for a warm gold tone that deepens and develops character with use, or solid copper for a richer, reddish finish that naturally patinas over time. Both are traditional bar metals chosen for their durability and professional appearance.
