HOFFMAN COPPER PLATED 45cm Bar Spoon [MEZCLAR] – Professional Control and Elegant Copper Finish
In a professional bar, the right spoon length makes a difference. The HOFFMAN COPPER PLATED 45cm Bar Spoon [MEZCLAR] provides extended reach into deep mixing vessels and controlled cocktail stirring. Its polished copper-plated finish adds a distinctive, warm appearance to the bar station.
Why Choose a 45cm Bar Spoon?
The 450mm length is useful for deep mixing glasses, tall drinking glasses and carafes. Its twisted shaft makes it easier to rotate the spoon between your fingers, maintaining a smooth movement along the inside wall of the vessel. It is ideal for the STIR technique, which chills and dilutes cocktails with ice in a controlled way.
Cocktail Stirring and Layered Drinks
The spoon can help guide a slow pour when preparing layered cocktails. Successful layering depends on the density of the ingredients and the pouring technique. For accurate measurements, use a jigger; for crushing fruit or herbs, choose a dedicated muddler.
Polished Copper-Plated Finish
The HOFFMAN bar spoon features a metal body with a polished copper-plated finish. Its warm colour is sometimes described commercially as rose gold, but the finish is copper plating, not genuine rose gold plating. Gentle cleaning helps preserve the surface and its appearance.
Two Cocktail Recipes – STIR and Layering
1. Negroni: Add 30ml gin, 30ml red Italian bitter aperitif and 30ml sweet red vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir gently with the HOFFMAN spoon, then strain into a rocks glass over ice. Garnish with orange peel.
2. B-52: Pour 20ml coffee liqueur into a shot glass. Slowly add 20ml Irish cream liqueur, followed by 20ml orange liqueur, using the back of the spoon to guide the pour. Distinct layers form depending on the density of the liquids.

HOFFMAN 45cm vs. a 40cm Bar Spoon
The HOFFMAN 45cm model provides an additional 5cm of reach compared with a 40cm bar spoon, making it useful for taller mixing vessels. For standard mixing glasses, a shorter spoon may be sufficient. The right choice depends on the vessel depth and the bartender's preferred handling.
Cleaning and Care
Do not wash in a dishwasher. Clean by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh cleaning chemicals to protect the copper-plated finish.
