Meaty Cocktail Straws

This Decadent Bloody Mary is Topped With a Pepperette Drinking Straw

— August 31, 2015 — Lifestyle
Often Bloody Mary and Caesar cocktails are garnished with all sorts of pickled foods from olives to beans, but have you ever been served a drink with a cocktail straw that you could eat? This meat straw by Benny's Original Meat Straws is the ideal companion to any Bloody Mary beverage and it conveniently helps to cut down on waste production.

These meat straws are ideal for hearty cocktails like Bloody Marys and Caesars because the cured jerky meat complements the rich and salty flavors well. The straws are similar to a pepperette in shape and size -- except the middle is hollowed out making these meaty treats ideal for sipping on. Since the meat is cured it is tough in texture holding up well to liquids.
Trend Themes
1. Edible Straws - Innovative food businesses can create a variety of edible straws as eco-friendly alternatives to plastic straws.
2. Meat-based Cocktails - Bars and restaurants can offer specialty cocktails with meat-based garnishes to attract meat lovers and add a unique twist to classic drinks.
3. Sustainable Packaging - Companies can explore sustainable packaging options for their food and beverage products to reduce waste and appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Food and beverage companies can experiment with adding meat-based garnishes and developing edible straws to appeal to consumers looking for unique and eco-friendly products.
2. Hospitality - Hotels and resorts can incorporate meat-based cocktail garnishes and edible straws in their bar offerings to offer a unique and memorable guest experience.
3. Sustainability - Sustainability-focused businesses can work with food and beverage companies to create eco-friendly packaging options for food and drink products to reduce waste and support sustainable initiatives.
