As any good bartender knows, a muddler is an indispensable tool for crushing fruit, spices or herbs in the bottom of a cocktail glass to release their flavor. Use it to crush mint for mojitos or lime for caipirinhas. Made in Minnesota from hand turned assorted hardwoods, including cherry, maple or walnut, this version goes beyond the realm of the utilitarian and becomes a handsome object on its own. The handmade nature of this item ensures that no two are exactly alike. Design Origin- Jim Benson, USA
