S is for Swizzle Stick

: a rod for stirring mixed drinks

“May I borrow your swizzle stick?” Pierce asked of the bar patron to his left, “I’m afraid my beverage hasn’t been adequately swizzled.” She turned to him in mock horror, “Well then, I insist you swizzle at once!” And she dunked it in his glass with a giggle. Pierce smiled tenderly. It was nice to meet a stranger brave enough to show some personality.
