This streamlined muddler is made of dense, solid maple wood, with a smoothly tapered end for two muddling diameters. Each muddler is finished with natural mineral oil - no chemicals, shedding stains, or flaking varnishes to get into your cocktail!
Since this muddler is made from natural wood, variations and markings in wood grain patterns will occur.
Maple Wood, 10 inches (20.5 cm) long , 4.5 oz (127.6 g).
A muddler should never have paint, varnish, or any kind of coating on it - and surprisingly, a LOT of them do. We wanted a muddler that was simple, streamlined and all-natural, one that wouldn’t leave flakes of chemicals in a cocktail. I (Rachel Eva) also love cocktails with muddled mint, but too many muddlers with rough teeth just rip and tear the mint to shreds, which releases chlorophyll, and imparts a bitter flavor. So, we made this one with a nice, wide muddle end to firmly press the oils from herbs, and trap even the slipperiest of strawberries.
We manufacture all of our products with three things in mind: utmost utility, beautiful design, and uncompromising quality. With the Maple Muddler, we hand-finish each piece after inspection with natural mineral oil, so nothing gross gets in your drink.
We recommend washing with a mild soap, and occasionally treating the wood by rubbing with a light coating of mineral oil to preserve it (do this with all your natural wood kitchen tools - they’ll thank you.)
Cheers,
Shawn Michael & Rachel Eva
