Mixing Spoon

A long handled spoon is a handy piece of equipment for any bartender. Not only is it useful for extracting olives from tall jars, but it is also perfect for gently stirring drinks such as Martinis that need to retain their clarity. Some mixing spoons have a flat, horizontal disk at the top of the handle, which can be used for light muddling, and may also be useful for layering drinks such as pousse café.
