Makeshift muddler

We love making the mojito recipe from Fine Cooking #59 for our summer parties, but without a muddler on hand to mash together the limes, fresh mint, and sugar, I found myself experimenting with other kitchen utensils to get the job done. My wooden honey swizzler turned out to be the perfect tool, and now it gets much more use as a muddler than as a swizzler.
