Sustainable thin straws for Gin Tonics | Straw by Straw ®

Serving a refreshing gin and tonic is an art in itself. When crafting gin and tonics, various factors come into play to present your drink beautifully: the right gin and tonic glasses, the perfect garnishes, the ideal proportions of gin and tonic, and also the right straws. Everything must align to create the ultimate taste experience. Paper straws or cardboard straws often have a grainy texture and can 'melt' or become limp. That's not ideal when you're putting effort into serving a beautiful gin and tonic. But which straw is suitable for gin and tonics? In this article, we'll delve into straws for gin and tonics!

What kind of straws are suitable for gin and tonics?

Environmentally friendly straws are the latest must-have for any hospitality establishment that cares about the environment and wants to meet the desires of its customers. Eco-friendly straws are made from biodegradable materials, making them a much more sustainable choice than traditional plastic straws, and there are various alternatives! If you're not satisfied with paper straws, we have two alternatives: reed straws and wheat straws!

How do I choose the best straw for gin and tonics?

Compared to paper straws, wheat straws and reed straws offer better firmness and stability, preventing them from quickly becoming soft or falling apart when in contact with liquids. This ensures a more enjoyable drinking experience for your guests and prevents them from having to drink their beverage through a torn straw.

It's important for your hospitality establishment to choose straws that match the appearance and quality of your drinks. Natural straws are not only good for the environment but also contribute to the experience and aesthetics of your cocktails, such as the beloved gin and tonic. If you opt for thin, chic straws and are on a tight budget, then wheat straws are very suitable! They start at only 10.49 euros for 500 straws! Do you have a slightly higher budget and want to give your gin and tonics an even more luxurious appearance? Then opt for reed cocktail straws. These start at 18.95 euros for 250 pieces.

By choosing wheat straws or reed straws, you show that you not only pay attention to sustainability but also to quality!
