cocktail stirrer

Bar tool stick

A cocktail stirrer is a narrow stick or small spoon used to mix drinks.

The simplest versions are thin plastic or glass rods; fancier ones may be metal with decorative ends.

Beyond function, stirrers often serve as bar accessories or branded promotional items: The martini came with a tiny sword-shaped cocktail stirrer.
