Muddler! It sounds like something the kids would play with it the garden after a very heavy rain shower. But if you make your own cocktails then you will probably know what it is, and it has nothing to do with rain or muddy puddles. If you don’t know what it is, it’s a bar tool that is indispensable when it comes to making better cocktails. A muddler is a long and slender essential bar tool used to smash and mix (or muddle) drink ingredients, such as fruits, herbs and spices, to release their flavours into the drink. It’s similar to a pestle and is often used in cocktails like mojitos, caipirinhas, and old-fashioneds.
If you are looking to create better quality and more ambitious cocktails, then look no further than the OXO Good Grips Steel Muddler. A simple tool that promises to transform your mixology experience. This sleek, stainless steel muddler is not just a stylish addition to your barware collection; it’s a testament to functionality meeting design.

The OXO Good Grips Steel Muddler is the perfect complement to their Cocktail Shaker. It is a long slender tool, measuring approximately 23cm x 4cm. It features a nylon head with teeth that doesn’t scratch or damage glass and it has a non-slip handle that makes it easy to use.
There is an art when it comes to making the perfect cocktail, and so is the infusion of herbs, spices and fruits. The OXO Muddler lets you smash and mix the ingredients to release their flavours withing pulverising them into oblivion.
OXO Good Grips are renowned for their ergonomic handles and being able to use by everyone, and this muddler is no exception.

This is especially important when muddling ingredients for your favourite cocktails, like mojitos or caipirinhas, where precision is key to achieving the perfect balance of flavours.
While it does an excellent job of muddling those flavoursome ingredients to create the perfect cocktail, it doesn’t get stained by the messy ingredients and is so easy to clean (it is also dishwasher safe).
