muddlers

Bar tool stirrers

Muddlers are people who muddle—who proceed in a confused, disorganized way: The committee was full of muddlers who couldn't agree on anything.

A muddler is also a bartending tool, a small pestle used to crush herbs, fruit, or sugar in the bottom of a glass when making cocktails like mojitos or old-fashioneds.
