For muddling, I prefer using a wooden pestle from a Japanese suribachi (mortar and pestle). Here’s a photograph of a smallish one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suribachi

You can usually find these in Asian grocery stores for under $5. If you buy a large sized one (slightly harder to find, you might need to hit a Japanese grocery store or hardware store if you have one nearby, or find one online). They are much easier to use than a commercial muddler.

This one looks like a beaut, but, for your average home bar, a wooden pestle will be easier to store, much cheaper, and still works great!

Uh…does he have a website at all? Or do you just need to e-mail him to find out about the different kinds of wood, costs, etc.?

I got to play with the muddlers this weekend. It’s actually really nice that it’s angled. Rather than grabbing it around and not getting as much leverage on it, the angle allows for a much better over the top hold to let you exert more force from your body weight rather than arm strength. It’s not so pointy that it will hurt in any way either.
