Muddler Plastic

Muddler Plastic/Nylon

~A tool used to mash or “muddle” fresh ingredients like fruits, herbs, and spices in the bottom of a glass or cocktail shaker. This process helps to release the essential oils, juices, and flavors into the drink.
-For the extraction of maximum flavor and aroma from fresh ingredients for cocktails like Mojito (mint and lime) etc.

Note:
Muddling should be done gently, especially with delicate herbs like mint. Over-muddling can tear the leaves or pulverize citrus rinds, releasing bitter, unwanted flavors.
For herbs (like mint): Place them at the bottom of the glass with a dash of liquid (like simple syrup) and press gently, twisting a half-turn or so. The goal is to bruise the herbs, not shred them.

For fruits (like lime wedges or berries): Press more forcefully, crushing the fruit to release its juices, but being careful not to overwork the citrus pith.
