Know before you buy
The 6-spoked design mimics the traditional 'Le Bois Lélé' tool, which is specifically engineered to aerate and chill Tiki cocktails rapidly. By spinning the stick between your palms, you create a vortex that perfectly integrates crushed ice and ingredients without over-diluting the drink.
Yes, the sturdy stainless steel construction allows you to use the flat spokes as a muddler. It is effective for bruising mint, muddling citrus, or incorporating syrups directly into your mixing glass or shaker.
The high-grade stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and staining from acidic ingredients like lime or pineapple juice. While the matte or gloss finish is durable, standard care will keep it looking pristine for years of heavy use.
At 12 inches long, this tool is designed to reach the bottom of most standard cocktail shakers and tall Tiki mugs. Its slim profile ensures it fits comfortably in almost any vessel you use for mixing.
Yes, because it is crafted from food-grade stainless steel, it is dishwasher safe. We recommend placing it in the utensil basket to ensure it doesn't interfere with the dishwasher's spray arms.
