I havent read the other posts so Im sure that you have the good answers
anyway...
But my tip is to bin the lid and strainer, and get yourself a good boston
glass andhawthorn strainer.
that way you dont stand there in front of customers beating 10 bells of crap
out of a shaker with their drink in before spilling a lot of it into your drip
rails. And the hawthorn not only looks better but strains out far more bits of
crap then cracking a glass/tin or lid/tin.
