WHY WE LOVE IT

Master the art of classic mixology with a piece of true cocktail history. The Alessi 5053 bar strainer is a legendary bar tool designed in 1979 by the master of Italian minimalism, Ettore Sottsass. Created in collaboration with professional bartenders, this Hawthorne-style strainer balances precise ergonomics with a clean, architectural form.
