sekoituslusikko

A sekoituslusikko is a type of spoon originating from Finland, specifically designed for stirring beverages. The name itself is a compound word in Finnish: "sekoitus" means mixing or stirring, and "lusikko" means spoon. Therefore, a sekoituslusikko literally translates to "mixing spoon" or "stirring spoon."

These spoons are characterized by their long handles, which allow them to reach the bottom of taller glasses, such as those used for cocktails, iced coffee, or layered drinks. The bowl of the spoon is typically proportional to its handle length, suitable for efficient stirring without being cumbersome. While often associated with barware and home cocktail preparation, sekoituslusikko can be used for any beverage that requires stirring, including tea, coffee, and hot chocolate.

The design prioritizes functionality, enabling users to easily incorporate ingredients, dissolve sugar, or chill drinks by circulating their contents. They are commonly made from stainless steel, but can also be found in other materials like plastic or wood. The sekoituslusikko is a practical tool that enhances the experience of preparing and enjoying various drinks.
