8" Long Stainless Steel Cocktail Muddlers by HQY, Muddler

Picked this up for mojitos and it’s been getting a workout this summer. It's an 8-inch stainless steel muddler with a ridged rubber tip, and it does exactly what you want it to: crushes mint leaves just enough to release the oils without turning them into a shredded mess. The length is great for tall glasses or shakers, and the whole thing feels well-balanced in the hand.It’s surprisingly lightweight, which I didn’t expect from a metal tool, but it doesn’t feel cheap. The rubber tip is a nice touch- it grips the mint and lime instead of just pushing it around, so you get that fragrant muddled base every good mojito needs. I’ve also used it a couple times to smash strawberries and cucumber for other drinks, and it handled those just fine.Cleanup is no issue. I’ve mostly hand-washed it, but it’s gone through the dishwasher a few times with no problems. No water staining, no funky smells. If you make summer drinks even occasionally, this one earns its spot in the drawer.

Just as described, good quality. Happy with my purchase.

Great build quality, we'll sized handle and works as advertised. Since the actual muddled head is a dense rubber, it doesn't make any scratching sounds against steel, glass or copper.

use this is to make old fashions at home & tocrush up our sugar cubes - works great.

Lighter than expected, I think a heavier one would be better

Great muddled. The stainless steel is smooth. Perfect size.

If you want to be more 'professional' and avoid slapping your mint, or make old fashioned the "old fashioned" way, buy this. Great for muddling your ingredients together to make it more aromatic, and incorporated. The steel handle feels robust, and isn't too heavy. I am afraid of the rubber muddling end dulling out, but thankfully this listing is affordable.

I bought this to mash eggs for egg salad. Works great, very easy to clean.
