Why are they called swizzle sticks?
1 Answer
Swizzle sticks are called swizzle sticks because of a play on words. During the late 19th century, the British combined the words "swill" and "guzzle" to create the name for stirrers used in cocktails. Shop a variety of antique and vintage swizzle sticks on 1stDibs.
