Muddler

Looking like a baseball bat for hedgehogs, the muddler comes in handy whenever you are dealing with fresh herbs or fruits and want the juice out of them. The two most common drinks that require the use of a muddler are the mojito and the caipirinha. When buying a muddler, choose a thicker one with a diameter of about 1 1/2-2 inches at the widest point. The thicker muddlers will give you more crushing and mixing power than the thinner ones.
