2. Good Knife Slice your garnishes quickly & precisely with a sharp knife. |
|
3. Muddler Release flavours into your cocktail quickly! |

6. Microplane Grater Freshly grated citrus or spices guarantee maximum flavour! |
|
7. Hawthorn Strainer This tool effectively strains ice, fruit & more for smooth cocktails. |
|
8. Citrus Juicer Perfect for both lemon & limes, ensures that fresh flavour we have been rambling on about! |
