Bartender Straining a Classic Cocktail at the Bar Counter

Ultra-detailed cinematic photograph of a bartender at a polished wooden bar, straining a classic cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer into a chilled coupe glass. The bartender wears a crisp white shirt and black apron; a shaker and jigger sit on the counter. Warm amber bar lighting creates soft glows and bokeh on glassware, copper accents, and condensation on the glass. Rich textures of wood grain, stainless steel, and velvet shadows. Shallow depth of field keeps the focus on the strainer mesh and the pour, with a blurred background of bottles and patrons. Editorial lifestyle photography vibe, shot with a 50mm lens, 3:2 aspect, color palette of golds, ambers, and deep browns.
