Peelers & Garnish Tools
Transform citrus into show-stopping garnishes. Y-peelers for wide twists, channel knives for spirals, zesters for aromatic oils.
Channel Knife
Small V-groove blade for creating thin spiral garnishes. The precision tool for elegant citrus spirals.
The channel knife (or zester) creates those Instagram-worthy spiral garnishes that trail elegantly from glass rims. The small V-shaped blade cuts a thin channel of zest as you rotate citrus, creating long, continuous spirals perfect for Martinis, Sidecars, and elegant cocktails where presentation matters. It's also useful for creating small citrus twists when you want concentrated oil expression without wide peel.
Citrus Zester
Microplane-style fine grater for aromatic citrus zest. Adds concentrated citrus oils and aromatics directly to cocktails.
The microplane zester creates fine, fluffy citrus zest that releases intense aromatic oils—perfect for finishing cocktails with a cloud of citrus essence. Unlike peels that float on top, grated zest immediately releases oils throughout the drink, providing aroma with every sip. It's essential for drinks like the Daiquiri or Whiskey Sour where you want citrus aroma without visual garnish, or for rimming glasses with fresh zest.
Y-Peeler
Professional Y-shaped peeler with sharp stainless blade. Creates perfect wide citrus twists for aromatic garnishes.
The Y-peeler is the professional bartender's secret weapon for creating those perfect, wide citrus twists that contain maximum oils with minimal pith. The Y-shape provides excellent leverage and control, allowing you to follow the curve of citrus fruits while maintaining consistent pressure. A sharp Y-peeler can create paper-thin peels that express oils beautifully when twisted over a cocktail, adding aroma that's crucial to drinks like the Old Fashioned or Martini.
