TEARDROP 40cm with MUDDLER – Two Functions, One Professional Bar Spoon
Great cocktails depend on controlled movement and attention to detail. The TEARDROP 40cm Bar Spoon with MUDDLER by Cocktail Kingdom combines precise stirring with the gentle pressing of aromatic ingredients.
Inspired by Japanese bar spoon design, this stainless steel tool features a fully twisted shaft, a TEARDROP spoon head and a flat muddler at the opposite end.
TEARDROP and MUDDLER – What Makes the Difference?
The TEARDROP spoon head is used for stirring cocktails smoothly around ice in a mixing glass. Its shape supports controlled movements while chilling and diluting drinks.
The opposite end features a flat muddler, suitable for gently pressing mint leaves and other delicate herbs to release their aroma without excessive crushing.
For firm muddling of hard fruit or other resistant ingredients, a dedicated cocktail muddler remains the better choice.
Japanese-Style Twisted Shaft and 40cm Length
The full-length twisted shaft helps bartenders maintain smooth, consistent stirring movements. The 40cm length provides comfortable reach in taller mixing glasses and compatible bar vessels.
This combination makes the spoon useful in professional cocktail stations and well-equipped home bars.

Why Choose Cocktail Kingdom?
Cocktail Kingdom specialises in professional barware designed around the practical needs of bartenders. Its range includes mixing tools, strainers, jiggers and other equipment for cocktail preparation.
The TEARDROP 40cm with MUDDLER reflects this functional approach: a traditional stirring tool enhanced with a second practical feature.
Bar Spoon with Muddler vs Standard Bar Spoon
A standard bar spoon is primarily intended for stirring and handling ingredients. This model adds a flat muddler end, allowing bartenders to gently press aromatic herbs without changing tools.
The advantage is versatility during service, especially when moving between ingredient preparation and cocktail stirring.
Cleaning and Care
Clean the spoon after use with water and mild detergent, paying attention to the twisted shaft and both ends. Avoid abrasive sponges and contact with objects that may scratch the stainless steel surface. Dry with a soft cloth.
