What Is A Bar Spoon?
Anyone who has seen a Bond movie will have heard the phrase ‘Shaken or stirred’. As much as we might be tempted to order a shaken martini, most bartenders will recommend that they are far better stirred down. You also need to know how to stir cocktails properly. To do this you’ll need a decent bar spoon.
A bar spoon is a long-handled spoon used for mixing and layering spirits. Simple, right?
Though at first glance, the humble bar spoon might not seem like it has any secrets, it’s actually evolved over centuries to be a barman’s best friend.
Have you ever wondered why they can be so long, or why it has that flat end and spiralled handle? All of these attributes are well thought out and essential in helping create beautiful cocktails and perfectly layered shots.
