What is a "cocktail stick"?
A cocktail stick, also known as a cocktail pick or party skewer, is a small stick typically made of wood, bamboo, plastic, or metal, used for spearing and serving small appetizers or garnishes in cocktails and other drinks. Cocktail sticks come in various lengths and designs, with some featuring decorative embellishments or themed shapes to enhance presentation. They are commonly used for serving olives, cherries, fruit slices, cheese cubes, or other bite-sized snacks alongside cocktails or mocktails, providing a convenient and hygienic way to enjoy finger foods while socializing.
