Know before you buy
The convex, or rounded, end is designed to maximize surface contact with the bottom of your glass. This shape allows you to effectively crush ingredients like mint leaves and fruit without needing to apply excessive force, ensuring you extract oils and juices efficiently.
To preserve the wood, hand wash your muddler with mild soap and warm water immediately after use, then towel dry it promptly. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, as moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.
No, the finish is completely food-safe. Each muddler is treated with pharmaceutical-grade mineral oil and beeswax, which seals the wood to prevent it from absorbing liquids or flavors while remaining neutral and non-toxic.
Yes, because these are handcrafted from a variety of exotic and North American hardwoods, each piece will feature unique grain patterns and color variations. This ensures that every muddler is a one-of-a-kind tool for your home bar.
The convex design is versatile and works well in most standard mixing glasses and cocktail shakers. However, be mindful when using it in delicate, thin-walled glassware to avoid applying too much pressure and risking breakage.
