swizzle sticks

Tiny cocktail rods

Swizzle sticks are slender rods used to stir cocktails and other mixed drinks.

Originally made from the branched stems of a Caribbean plant, modern swizzle sticks are typically plastic or metal and often serve a decorative function, sometimes bearing a bar's logo or an ornamental design.

They remain in the glass as a garnish and can be used to continue stirring as ice melts.

The bartender dropped a swizzle stick into my mojito.
