With ingredients in a glass or tin (see safety technique), take muddler in hand and with force press down and apply a twisting motion. A proper muddled drink will have ingredients release all their essential oils, juices and flavors. When muddling fruit, one option is to add a few ice cubes (Ice can help break up the fruit and adds a little water to your cocktail).
Muddling too much or too little? Not enough will leave you with a drink that was a waste of time and too much muddling may release bitterness found in some fruit peels and herbs. A good rule of thumb is 8-13 pressurized passes with the Mr. Mojito muddler that will leave you with a delicious cocktail.
