Stalgast 28.5 cm Bar Spoon for Professional Mixing

A bar spoon is the long-handled tool that lets bartenders stir cocktails without splashing or breaking the ice. The extended shaft reaches the bottom of tall mixing glasses and shakers, while the twisted stem helps spin the liquid in a smooth, continuous motion. This action chills and dilutes the drink evenly, avoiding the aeration that shaking would introduce. The small bowl at the tip holds just enough liquid to lift and layer ingredients without over-pouring, making it essential for building multi-layered cocktails and gently combining spirits with syrups or bitters.

To use the spoon, the bartender places the bowl into the drink, rests the twisted stem against the inside of the glass, and rolls the handle between thumb and fingers. The length keeps the hand clear of the rim, reducing spills and maintaining hygiene. The spoon is lifted and replaced as needed to stir or layer, then rinsed between drinks to prevent cross-contamination.

The Stalgast bar spoon is made of stainless steel, which resists corrosion from citrus juices and syrups and withstands repeated washing in commercial glasswashers. The 28.5 cm length is sized for standard mixing glasses and shakers, allowing the spoon to reach the bottom without the handle protruding awkwardly from the vessel.

Cleaning is straightforward: wash in hot soapy water or place in the glasswasher rack, ensuring the bowl faces down to avoid trapping water. Regular drying prevents water spots and maintains the polished finish.
