The four swizzle sticks in this set combine a spoon and straw in one, making this cocktail implement highly useful for both stirring and slurping. Each 7-1/2-inch stir has a hollow handle for taking dainty sips of a Long Island Iced Tea or any drink served in a tall Collins glass. The bottom and top of each straw are slightly angled for sucking up every last bit of a cocktail. Affixed at the end of each straw is a curved paddle that either serves as a stir for liquor and ice or as a spoon for fishing bar fruit out from the bottom of the glass. These straw/spoons are made of 18/10 stainless steel and are dishwasher safe. Washing before the first use is recommended as the straws may impart a metallic taste to cocktails.
