tips for muddled cocktails
- We like a nice wooden muddler for herbs as the gentle, rounded edge is not too impactful for the delicate leaves (stay away from the toothy plastic muddlers that will mash them instead).
- Cocktails that call for muddling can usually benefit from double-straining to collect any fine particles of the muddled ingredients (seeds for fruit, spice fragments, leaves). Simply strain once through your Hawthorne Strainer or Cobbler Shaker top, and pour into a fine mesh strainer before the double-strained cocktail hits the serving glassware. To see this is in action, check out our Double Straining Video!

FAQ
What is the muddle method?
What is a muddler in a cocktail?
A muddler is a bartender’s tool used to crush and mix ingredients in the bottom of a glass or a cocktail shaker. It’s primarily used to muddle fruits, herbs, spices, and sugar cubes to release their flavors, which then become infused in the cocktail.
Is drinking lemon beneficial for children?
Lemon juice can be beneficial for its contribution to vitamin C and other minerals. However, for children, it can be a bit acidic. You can counteract that taste with a little water.
What are some examples of muddled drinks?
Other examples of muddled drinks include rum-based mojitos (mint with sugar), and cachaça-based caipirinhas (sugar with lime). But the beauty of muddling is that it allows you to be creative. Herbs and fruits combined with syrups, even sipping vinegars, can be the base of a kaleidoscope of mixed drinks, with or without alcohol.
What is a muddler made of?
The base of the muddler is sometimes textured or toothed (like a mini meat tenderizer), or smooth. Textured muddlers tend to tear up ingredients, so choose a smooth one. Muddlers are made of bamboo, wood, stainless steel, plastic, or even glass; sleek and modern, or pleasingly vintage. Caring for your muddler is as easy as rinsing it and drying it.
