TEARDROP TATTOO – A Bar Spoon with Character
The UrbanBAR TEARDROP TATTOO 30cm Bar Spoon brings together professional cocktail stirring and distinctive visual design. Inspired by tattoo artwork, its engraved patterns are highlighted with food-safe black ink, creating a striking contrast against polished stainless steel.
Designed for bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts, this bar spoon adds personality to the preparation of stirred drinks, whether in a professional bar or a home cocktail setup.
Japanese Stainless Steel and Tattoo-Inspired Design
Made from Japanese 18/8 stainless steel, the spoon features a polished finish, twisted shaft and distinctive teardrop end. The engraved decorative pattern gives the TATTOO collection its recognisable identity.
The 30cm length makes it suitable for stirring cocktails in mixing glasses and other appropriate bar vessels. Its twisted shaft supports smooth, controlled stirring around the ice.

Professional Stirring and Everyday Practicality
A bar spoon is essential for cocktails that require controlled chilling and dilution rather than vigorous shaking. The TEARDROP TATTOO allows ingredients to be stirred smoothly with ice in a mixing glass, helping the bartender achieve the desired temperature and dilution.
The teardrop end can hold approximately 5ml of liquid, but this is only an indicative capacity. For accurately measured cocktail recipes, use a suitable jigger rather than the spoon's decorative end.
Recipe 1 – Classic Negroni
Ingredients: 30ml gin, 30ml Italian bitter aperitif, 30ml sweet red vermouth, ice and orange peel.
Preparation: Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir gently using the TEARDROP TATTOO Bar Spoon until properly chilled and diluted. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice and garnish with orange peel.
Recipe 2 – Dry Martini
Ingredients: 60ml gin, 10ml dry vermouth, ice and an olive or lemon twist.
Preparation: Combine the gin and vermouth in a mixing glass with ice. Stir smoothly until the desired chilling and dilution are achieved. Strain into a chilled Martini glass and garnish as preferred.
TEARDROP TATTOO vs a Standard Bar Spoon
Both tools perform the essential task of stirring cocktails. The TEARDROP TATTOO stands out through its engraved artwork, contrasting black decoration and distinctive presentation. It offers the functionality of a professional bar spoon with the visual identity of the UrbanBAR TATTOO collection.
Its gift-box presentation also makes it an appealing choice for cocktail enthusiasts who appreciate distinctive bar equipment.
Cleaning and Care
According to the manufacturer, the spoon is dishwasher safe. However, gentle hand washing is recommended to help preserve the decorative tattoo finish over time. Use a soft sponge, mild detergent and a non-abrasive cloth for drying. Avoid abrasive pads and scratching the engraved surface.
