swilling his mug balançando a caneca

Explanation:
Swill aqui não faz sentido (sip). Imagino que o cara estava "balançando a caneca com movimentos rotatórios" para o líquido esfriar.

Faz sentido sim.. Acabei de ver no Webster Unabridged. Swill around or about: to cause a liquid to swish in a container.
