Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Swissmar Hand-Held Muddler
Customer Review: Mojito Madness!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you make Mojitos you MUST have a muddler. There's no other way around it.
I started with a wooden muddler, but it started stinking after a few uses. Sure, it only smelled like rum & lime, but was bacteria living in the wood as well?
This Swissmar muddler is well made and balanced correctly for hand use. It makes quick work of the cane sugar and mint leaves. It cleans well in the dishwasher, and is small enough to take on road trips.
Mojitos Rule!
Customer Review: Not Long Enough.
Summary: 4 Stars
While it's excellent in all other aspects, it is just too short for a usual boston style glass tumbler, or a collins glass, or a pint glass for that matter. It's good for a rocks glass but I don't do much muddling in that kind of glass.
The macerating end does its job well when it can reach what you want, and I have found a use for this in crushing tomatos for bruschetta. (Saves cleanup from a food processor or blender.)
Customer Review: it muddles
Summary: 5 Stars
it does it's job.
You can't make a Mojito without one.
I love it but found it to be a bit too short for my shaker ( my fat fingers keep hitting the top of the shaker )so I ordered a longer one too, that should not take anything any from this well made muddler.
It is comfortable and makes mashing the mint easy.
PS... don't forget the splash of bitters in your mojito's ... it's really makes a difference.
Customer Review: my first experience with muddlers
Summary: 4 Stars
It seems to work sufficiently well to add some mint juice into my mojitos. Still, I'm not sure if it brings results one would expect from a perfect muddler. It fits my 'boot-rise' glasses just fine, but for taller glasses it is short (>5" I believe). Also the handle is not perfect - but you can't find a better one on Amazon.Customer Review: Great Muddler
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this strictly for making Old Fashioned's. I was a little concerned with not getting a wooden one since all the bars I go to use wooden ones. This muddler works great. The spikes on the bottom completely crush the sugar cubes and the muddler works great. Looks good too.
