Stick in a cup (7)

I believe the answer is:

stirrer

(Other definitions for stirrer that I've seen before include "Implement for mixing" , "One deliberately causing trouble" , "One making solution perhaps" , "Spoon - agitator" , "One who spreads frightening or malicious rumours" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
