The Muddler

The smooth head is ideal for muddling delicate herbs like mint without shredding them, which can release bitter chlorophyll. It provides enough surface area to effectively press citrus and fruit against the bottom of your shaker.

Yes, at 10 inches long, it is sized to reach the bottom of most standard cocktail shakers and mixing glasses. Its length ensures your knuckles won't hit the rim while you work.

Hand wash the muddler with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately. To keep the wood from drying out or cracking over time, occasionally rub it with a food-safe mineral oil.

A one-piece design is more durable and hygienic because there are no crevices or joints where fruit pulp and sugar can get trapped. It also provides a more solid, stable feel when applying pressure.

Hardwood is naturally porous, so it may pick up slight discoloration or aromas over time with heavy use of dark fruits. This is normal for wooden bar tools and generally does not impact the flavor of future drinks.
