TRUE Lewis Ice Bag with Mallet

Canvas is porous, which allows it to absorb the excess water created during the crushing process. This results in drier, higher-quality ice that chills your drink without diluting it too quickly, which is essential for cocktails like mint juleps.

After each use, hang the bag up to air dry completely to prevent mildew. If it becomes soiled, you can hand wash it with mild soap and warm water, then let it air dry thoroughly before storing.

The mallet is designed to be sturdy and effective, but you don't need excessive force. A few firm, rhythmic taps are usually sufficient to break down standard ice cubes into the perfect crushed consistency.

While it is specifically designed for ice, the heavy-duty canvas bag is also excellent for crushing nuts, crackers, or other dry ingredients if you need a rustic, textured result.

Fill the bag about two-thirds full with ice cubes. Leaving some space allows the ice to move freely inside the bag, which makes it easier to crush evenly without damaging the canvas.
