The Cocktail Kingdom Bad Ass Muddler is a sturdy and durable tool designed specifically for heavy use. It is much larger than most other muddlers. Made of food-grade plastic, this muddler features a textured grip that allows for better control when pressing ingredients. Its wide, flat bottom provides an even surface for mashing, which is important to prevent excessive tearing or over-muddling of delicate ingredients. Measuring 12 inches in length, the muddler provides ample reach for taller mixing glasses or shakers, making it versatile for both home and professional bartending environments.
I have never worked in a bar that didn't have a muddler. They are a staple of any bar, home or professional. One of my favorite parts of bartending was making something on the fly (riffing). Being able to grab a few fresh local ingredients from the kitchen, pair it with a base liquor and maybe some supporting liqueurs, and make something unique and in the moment; that in my opinion is one of the purest forms of bartending. And having a work horse of a muddler is absolutely essential for that.
In terms of style, this is not winning any awards. Its massive, clunky, and a bit unwieldly. which is why it took a hit in the style rating. But that is not the point of this tool. This tool gets abused. It is thrown around, used to break ice, soaked in liquor, and just generally beat up. But that is where the cocktail kingdom bad ass muddler shines. It can withstand whatever you throw at it and ask for more.
This is the muddler that I ordered at my bars when I ran them. It is the muddler that I have at home, and it is the muddler that I recommend to any serious bar enthusiast or professional. This can, and should, be the last muddler you buy!
