Overview
A barspoon, with its long and often twisted handle, is one of the most familiar components of a basic bar tool kit. Its primary function is to stir cocktails, naturally. The lengthy handle is for reaching to the bottom of a mixing glass, and the twist in the middle is there so bartenders can get a better grip of the spoon, to make stirring easier.
The Professional Stir
In today’s cocktail bars, most bartenders stir in a particular way so the back of the spoon glides along the perimeter of the glass, but never enters the center. This pushes the ice around in one fluid, continuous motion which has some practical benefits related to chilling and dilution, in addition to looking very, very cool. I’ve dubbed it the “professional” stir. You’ll also sometimes hear it referred to as the “Japanese stir”. You can learn how to master it – which is fairly tricky – on the Stirring page. It’s not exactly imperative to making good cocktails, though I will say, it is quite rewarding.
The Teardrop Style is Easily the Best
The most popular and, in my opinion, best barspoon headpiece is the “teardrop”. Its rounded sides keep the spoon spinning effortlessly in your hand. The first time I used one, I literally said: “this is like stirring with a stick of butter.” I recommend it so wholeheartedly to bartenders of on every and all skill and interest levels. If you’re going to spend a little extra on one bar tool, I’d put this one on the short list.
