muddled cocktail
'Muddling is the technique of mashing an ingredient for use in a drink to add texture, scent, color and taste. Sometimes ingredients are muddled and strained, but often, as in the classic mojito, the components are left in to make a drink more attractive.'

'A muddler is a bartender's tool, used like a pestle to mash — or muddle — fruits, herbs, and/or spices in the bottom of a glass to release their flavor.
Popular cocktails that require the use of a muddler include the Old-Fashioned made with whiskey, the mojito made with light rum, the caipirinha made with cachaça (as well as the caipiroska made with vodka instead of cachaça) and the mint julep made with Bourbon whiskey.'

: Yes, exactly from an ex-bartender at the oldest jazz club and waterfront dive in the world, The Lighthouse. I believe I still have a hardwood muddler from there.
