Cocktail Sticks

Cocktail Sticks are essential for finishing cocktails, canapes and tasting bites in busy Irish bars, restaurants and catering operations. This range covers classic wooden picks, eco-friendly bamboo skewers and durable plastic sticks in a variety of lengths and styles. Use them to secure garnishes, serve sliders or present samples with excellent hygiene and presentation. Designed for high-volume service, these sticks help speed up prep while keeping every serve consistent and professional.

• Wooden and birch cocktail sticks supplied in large catering packs for busy bars and venues.
• Bamboo cocktail sticks offering an eco-conscious option for garnishes, canapes and food sampling.
• Plain, knotted and decorative designs to match your bar theme, event style or brand image.
• Short picks for olives and fruit, longer sticks for sliders, skewers and buffet presentation.
• Disposable and reusable options to suit different service styles and hygiene policies.
• Bulk packaging for reliable stock levels and cost-effective bar and food service.

How to choose the right Cocktail Sticks

• Match stick length to your serves, using shorter picks for martini olives and longer options for burgers, sliders or skewers.
• Decide between wooden or bamboo sticks for single-use service, or plastic options where reuse is practical and permitted.
• Choose plain, knotted or looped designs to complement your bar presentation, theme nights or event styling.
• Consider pack size and storage space so you always have enough sticks for peak service without overstocking.
• Think about sustainability goals and opt for bamboo or compostable options where possible.
• Ensure the sticks are suitable for both food and drink use if you plan to use them across the bar and kitchen.

Care and maintenance

• Store cocktail sticks in a cool, dry place away from moisture, heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent warping.
• Keep packs sealed or covered to protect sticks from dust, spills and cross-contamination in busy bar areas.
• Use fresh disposable sticks for every drink or dish to maintain hygiene and food safety standards.
• If using reusable plastic sticks, wash thoroughly in hot soapy water or a dishwasher-safe cycle where applicable.
• Regularly rotate stock so older packs are used first and packaging remains in good condition.
• Provide covered dispensers or containers at the bar to keep sticks organised and easy to access during service.
