Positively smashing.
When you’re gonna make snow cones or want ice chips to fanci-fy your cocktails, make sure this ice crusher is on hand. Based on the orginal Steele “Less-Mess” ice crusher featured in their 1960’s catalog, this updated design comes with a laser-engraved mallet made right here in the USA from recycled wood. All you gotta do is fill that sturdy canvas pouch with ice and go to town. When you’re through, just hang it from that brass eyelet so it can dry.
