Muddlers

Muddlers are essential bar tools for crushing fruits, herbs, sugar and spices to release flavour in cocktails and mocktails. This range covers professional muddlers in stainless steel, copper and durable plastics, with options to suit both short and tall glassware. Ideal for cocktail bars, restaurants, hotels and event caterers, they help bartenders work quickly while maintaining consistent drink quality. Robust construction and ergonomic grips support hygiene, speed of service and long-term reliability in busy Irish venues.

• Stainless steel muddlers in bar-ready lengths for efficient muddling in high volume service.
• Copper finish muddlers for premium presentation at cocktail bars and front-of-house mixology.
• Durable plastic muddlers that are lightweight, practical and easy to clean for everyday use.
• Textured heads designed to crush limes, berries and herbs without damaging glassware.
• Comfortable, non-slip handles that give bartenders a secure grip during fast-paced service.
• Options to suit a wide range of glass sizes, from rocks glasses to tall highball and Collins glasses.

How to choose the right Muddlers

• Match the muddler length to your most common glassware so it reaches ingredients easily without hitting the rim.
• Choose stainless steel or copper muddlers for a premium look and maximum durability in busy cocktail bars.
• Opt for plastic muddlers where lightweight handling and reduced risk of chipping glassware are priorities.
• Look for a textured or ribbed head to crush citrus, berries and herbs efficiently while protecting the glass.
• Consider handle shape and grip comfort for bartenders working long shifts and high-volume cocktail service.
• Decide how many muddlers you need to support multiple stations or events without slowing service for cleaning.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse muddlers immediately after use to prevent fruit acids and sugars from drying on the surface.
• Wash stainless steel and plastic muddlers in warm, soapy water or a commercial dishwasher where suitable.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals on metal finishes, especially copper, to maintain appearance.
• Inspect muddler heads regularly for cracks or deep scratches that can trap food and compromise hygiene.
• Store muddlers in clean bar caddies or utensil holders to keep them dry, accessible and protected between shifts.
• Sanitise regularly during service in line with your bar hygiene procedures, especially when handling fresh ingredients.
