Crafthouse Classic Muddler

Wood is a traditional choice because it provides a firm, non-slip grip on ingredients like mint leaves or citrus peels. Unlike some metal muddlers, wood is gentle enough to extract oils without bruising herbs to the point of bitterness.

To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately. Periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil to the surface to preserve the finish and prevent the wood from absorbing cocktail juices.

Yes, the handle features a slightly tapered design that fits naturally in the palm. This ergonomic shape provides a secure grip, making it easier to apply consistent pressure when muddling multiple drinks.

No, this muddler should be hand washed only. Dishwasher heat and moisture can cause the wood to warp, crack, or lose its smooth finish over time.

The smooth, polished head is specifically designed to press and release juices from fruit and herbs efficiently. It provides enough surface area to extract maximum flavor without shredding the ingredients.
