If you don’t have a muddler and don’t want to purchase one, you can use a few different things to make this work. The first thing you could use would be a wooden spoon either the spoon or handle side to muddle. If you don’t have wooden utensils, then you can use a regular spoon. It’s a little bit harder to use, but it can be used at a bit of an angle to muddle against the side of the glass more so than the bottom of the glass. So, pick up your glass or pitcher and hold it at an angle. And muddle with your spoon.
