Key features include a slender length (typically 25-35 cm) and an elegant spiral shaft, facilitating rapid rotation between fingers for thorough mixing and slight chilling. The spoon bowl is usually small, teaspoon or demitasse spoon-sized, for scooping sugar, crushed ice, or garnishes like cherries. The opposite end may be a fork (for olives/cherries) or a small muddler (for crushing mint). The overall piece requires good balance for flair bartending.
Total length is the primary spec, commonly 30 cm. Bowl capacity is about 5 ml (one teaspoon). Material is 304 stainless steel, with premium versions possibly chrome-plated, gold-plated, or made of copper. The number and density of spirals vary by design. Weight ranges from 30-60 grams for a solid feel.
Specifically for bar and home mixology. Main functions include: stirring classic cocktails (e.g., Martini, Manhattan) to properly integrate ingredients with ice; creating layered cocktails (e.g., B-52) by slowly pouring liquor over the spoon's back to form distinct layers; scooping and adding small ingredients (e.g., sugar cubes, bitters-soaked sugar); serving as a simple measuring tool (one spoonful ≈ one teaspoon). Also an extension for bartender performance.
