- Muddle?
Are you familiar with a mortar and pestle? The muddler is like the pestle, it's a wooden bulb implement that is used to crush the mint or shiso and release its volatile oils, usually in the glass or shaker.
Here's a great reference from Epicurious which I include to share the source: mortar and pestle.
