The Reason Those Long Bar Spoons Are Twisted
BY CLAIRE REDDEN
Bar spoons are narrow, long-stemmed, twisted spoons that actually help bartenders make better drinks thanks to the twists, which complement the motion of stirring a drink.
The twists permit bartenders to stir drinks in one continuous smooth motion. Paired with the right technique, the spoon also aids in preventing any spills or splashes.
Bar spoons aren’t just for stirring drinks; they’re also for pouring them. When poured down the spoon's long, spiraled handle, the twists help prevent the drink from spilling.
