The strainer [used] with a shaken cocktail is the Hawthorne strainer... A Hawthorne consists of a small slotted plate with a couple of tabs, which help it to span the opening of your mixing tin(or glass) when placed on top. The Hawthorne also has a spring around the underside, which is what strains out ice and other large solids. 1, record 1, English, - Hawthorne%20strainer

Originating in the days before plastic straws, the julep strainer was originally designed as a large, slotted, spoon-like implement, which the drinker placed over the top of an iced drink(such as a mint julep) to hold the ice back away from the teeth. As spirit-driven cocktails grew in popularity, bartenders began to use the spoon-like strainer as a tool to strain stirred drinks. 1, record 2, English, - julep%20strainer
