Know before you buy
Stainless steel is non-porous, meaning it won't absorb flavors or odors from previous drinks, and it won't crack or splinter over time like wood. It is also much easier to sanitize, making it a more hygienic choice for both home and professional bars.
While the conical head is designed for efficient extraction, you should always muddle gently against the bottom of your glass. Avoid using excessive force or muddling against the sides of thin-walled glassware to prevent cracking.
Yes, because it is constructed entirely from stainless steel, it is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish and prevent any potential water spots.
Yes, 8 inches is the standard length for most home and professional cocktail shakers. It provides enough reach to comfortably muddle ingredients at the bottom of a standard mixing glass without your knuckles hitting the rim.
This muddler is designed primarily for fruits, herbs, and spices. While it is durable enough for firm ingredients like ginger, it is not intended for crushing ice, which can damage the finish or the tool over time.
