Cocktails, who doesn't love them?! Did you know that there are special straws for cocktails? Straws are beautiful as drink decorations. There are different types of straws to dress up your cocktails: Hawaiian straws, 3D fruit straws, Hawaiian tropical party straws, and so on, plenty of choices! But we keep it simple with cocktail straws made of reed and wheat stems. But what exactly are cocktail straws and what's the difference from normal straws?
In this article, we zoom in on cocktail straws!
What's the difference between cocktail straws and normal straws?
Cocktail straws and normal straws differ in several ways. First, the most important difference is size. Cocktail straws are generally smaller and thinner than normal straws. This is because they are intended for drinking cocktails, which are often served in smaller glasses. Cocktails are often served in short glasses, which is why the short 15 cm tumbler straws are often used. Sometimes you indeed also have cocktails in tall glasses, think of Mojitos for example. For these, you need longer straws, but often the short straws are popular for cocktails.
A straw is a straw, but a cocktail straw is often thinner and shorter.

What's a cheap alternative for cocktail straws?
Plastic straws are no longer allowed but were always very cheap. Paper straws are fairly competitively priced but they don't always make you happy. If your budget is at the rate of paper straws, then a good option is to choose sustainable straws made of straw. These are completely natural and don't get soggy, so they don't melt like paper straws. The advantage of these straws is that they are cheap and competitively priced!
