I use a hawthorn strainer on nearly all drinks, spliting the two glasses and 
straining through the gap simply isn't done in my place though I have worked 
bars where it was. Like bippo I fine strain most drinks served straight up 
through a tea strainer to remove ice chips or bits of citrus fruit. For 
martinis I use a julep strainer, just 'coz I think it looks a little more 
elegant on a boston glass than a hawthorn strainer!
