Know before you buy
Each muddler is handcrafted from natural birch wood. While the wood is turned to a smooth finish, we recommend treating it periodically with food-grade mineral oil to maintain the wood's integrity and prevent it from drying out.
The textured head is designed to provide better grip on ingredients like mint leaves, citrus peels, and sugar cubes. This texture helps release essential oils and juices more efficiently than a completely smooth surface.
Because this is a natural wood product, it is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash it with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately with a towel to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.
At 7 to 8.5 inches long, this muddler is sized to reach the bottom of standard highball glasses and mixing tins comfortably. Its ergonomic shape ensures you have enough leverage without needing an excessively long handle.
No, each piece is unique. Because the muddlers are turned from natural birch wood, you should expect variations in grain pattern and color, which are inherent characteristics of the material.
