Hi...tried the Strawberry Daiquiri. Overall taste and composition was great. Just had an issue with fine straining (double strained?), the fine sieve gets blocked and takes too long to pour! Any ideas to as an alternative as s most "Fruit Muddled" and shaken drinks will suffer this fate? The end result was spoilt by fruit pieces and icd shards....shame.

It's not the cone-shape of the Coco Strainer that is important. It is larger holes in the mesh of the sieve of the Coco that makes it easier to use with drinks such as this.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the reply. Looking at the photo of the Coco-Strainer it looks like the one I am using (cone shaped). Maybe then the issue is with my muddling of the Strawberries e.g. over muddled as I also ended up with a blocked spring on the Hawthorne due the "mush"!. I need reduce the amount of strawberries and muddle perhaps?

Also, as we were on a night of rum based cocktail experimentation still in awe of the classic Daiquiri (used your recipe measures > Daiquiri Natural #1). Just 3 ingredients, simple...sublime!

The trick is to use a strainer such as Cocktail Kingdom Coco Strainer with mesh that is not as fine as usual strainers. https://www.cocktailkingdom.co.uk/coco-strainer
