Designed for the home bartender and entertaining enthusiast, our Nara bar collection pays tribute to the elevated style and reverence for tradition found in Japanese cocktail culture and grand hotel bar service. A tapered cylinder of solid maple wood serves as a muddler, ridged to coordinate with the rest of the collection and to give you a better grip. Because it's made of wood, the muddler doesn't tear or mash ingredients, instead it gently bruises herbs and fruit to release more flavor-enhancing aromatic oils.
