TIKI TEARDROP 30cm Bar Spoon [UrbanBAR] – Tropical Design Meets Professional Precision
A professional bar spoon that combines Japanese-style functionality with the exotic character of TIKI cocktail culture.
The TIKI TEARDROP Bar Spoon [UrbanBAR] is a 30 cm professional cocktail tool designed for controlled stirring, approximate measuring of small ingredient quantities and the preparation of layered drinks.
Crafted from premium Japanese 18/8 stainless steel, it features a polished finish, a twisted handle and tropical motifs engraved into the metal, enhanced with black detailing.
The mirror-polished TEARDROP end adds an elegant finishing touch while contributing to the balance of the spoon during use.
Combining practical performance with distinctive styling, this bar spoon is suitable for professional bartenders, tropical-themed cocktail bars and home mixology enthusiasts.
TEARDROP Design – What Makes the Teardrop End Special?
The name TEARDROP refers to the teardrop-shaped metal finial at the opposite end of the spoon bowl.
Beyond its decorative appeal, this detail serves several practical purposes:
- Balance: the metal finial contributes to the weight distribution of the spoon.
- Control: supports comfortable handling during stirring.
- Distinctive design: adds an elegant silhouette to the tool.
- Mirror-polished finish: complements the premium appearance of the TIKI collection.
The TEARDROP design offers a refined alternative to bar spoons with flat ends or other finial styles.
Twisted Handle – Controlled Stirring and Cocktail Layering
The twisted shaft, characteristic of Japanese-style bar spoons, allows the bartender to rotate the spoon smoothly between the fingers.
During the stirring technique, the spoon can be guided around the inside wall of a mixing glass, encouraging the ice and liquid ingredients to move together in a controlled circular motion.
This technique is commonly used for cocktails that require chilling and controlled dilution without the additional aeration associated with shaking.
The spiral handle can also assist with layering, a technique in which liquids are poured slowly to create visually distinct layers.
The success of layered drinks depends on the bartender's technique and the relative densities and temperatures of the ingredients.
Spoon Bowl – Approximately 5 ml Capacity
According to the manufacturer, the bowl of the TIKI TEARDROP bar spoon holds approximately 5 ml.
This can be useful when adding small amounts of syrup, liqueur or other liquid ingredients while preparing cocktails.
Important: the 5 ml capacity is approximate. This spoon is not a certified measuring instrument and should not replace a dedicated jigger when precise measurements are required.
For consistent cocktail recipes and accurate ingredient dosing, we recommend using a professional cocktail jigger.
TIKI Collection – Tropical Motifs Engraved into Stainless Steel
Inspired by Hawaiian imagery and tropical cocktail culture, the TIKI collection brings an expressive visual identity to professional bar tools.
The decorative motifs are engraved into the stainless steel surface and highlighted with food-safe black ink, according to UrbanBAR's specifications.
The contrast between the polished metal and dark decorative details gives the spoon a distinctive appearance.
Unlike a plain stainless steel bar spoon, the TIKI TEARDROP can also contribute to the visual presentation of cocktail preparation, particularly in bars where the bartender's performance is part of the guest experience.
Its coordinated design makes it a natural addition to other accessories from the UrbanBAR TIKI collection.
Premium Japanese 18/8 Stainless Steel – Durability and Refined Finish
The spoon is manufactured from premium Japanese 18/8 stainless steel, a material valued for its corrosion resistance, durability and practical maintenance.
UrbanBAR highlights the high-quality polished finish and corrosion-resistant construction of this model.
Its metal construction and 30 cm length make it suitable for use with mixing glasses and other appropriately sized bar vessels.
It is designed for repeated use in professional hospitality environments and home cocktail preparation.
Which Cocktails Can You Make with the TIKI TEARDROP Bar Spoon?
The spoon is particularly useful for stirred cocktails, but it also supports other common bartending techniques.
- Negroni: stirring gin, vermouth and bitter liqueur with ice.
- Martini: controlled chilling and dilution of the ingredients.
- Manhattan: combining whiskey, vermouth and bitters.
- Old Fashioned: mixing the ingredients and stirring with ice.
- Layered cocktails: assisting with slow pouring for visual separation.
- Long drinks: gently combining ingredients directly in the serving glass.
The spoon can also be used for approximate measuring of small liquid quantities when preparing cocktails.
30 cm Length – Practical for Professional Bartending
With a length of 30 cm, the TIKI TEARDROP bar spoon offers convenient reach when working with mixing glasses and suitably sized tall vessels.
The long handle allows the bartender to perform stirring movements without placing a hand inside the mixing vessel.
Weighing approximately 46 g, the spoon is comfortable to handle during repeated use.
Its dimensions make it a practical addition to both professional bar stations and home cocktail setups.
