Black 3-ply cocktail paper straws, 140mm × 5mm, 5,000 per case. The short straw — designed specifically for rocks glasses, tumblers, espresso martinis and any short drink where a full-length 197mm straw sits too high above the rim and looks out of place. At 140mm, the straw sits just above the rim of a standard rocks glass — functional without being obtrusive, and consistent with how cocktail bars have always presented short drinks. Three layers of compostable paper give enough rigidity for cold cocktails and soft drinks without going soggy. 5,000 per case, packed as 50×100.

What Makes These Cocktail Straws Work

The length is the key spec here. A standard 197mm straw in a rocks glass or tumbler sticks up 5–6cm above the rim — it looks wrong, gets in the way of the drink, and draws attention away from the presentation. The 140mm straw sits just above the rim, which is where a cocktail straw should be. It’s a small detail that most customers notice without knowing why the drink looks right.

The 5mm bore is narrower than the standard 6mm — appropriate for cocktails and soft drinks where the drink is thin enough that bore size isn’t a limiting factor. The solid black colour matches dark glassware and minimalist bar settings, and disappears into the drink rather than competing with it. For longer drinks in tall glasses, the 197mm × 6mm black straw is the right call.

3-ply compostable paper construction holds its shape through a standard cocktail service without softening. Compostable and biodegradable — can go out with food waste. BPA free. Compliant with the EU single-use plastics directive.

Straw Size Guide

Go with the 140mm if you’re serving short drinks in rocks glasses or tumblers where a full-length straw looks out of place. Use the 197mm if you’re serving tall glasses, cocktail glasses or takeaway cups. Step up to the 8mm if the drink is thick enough that a 5mm or 6mm straw creates resistance.

Who Uses These

• Cocktail bars and premium bars — the short black straw is standard for rocks glasses and tumblers across Dublin, Cork and Galway; most cocktail bars stock both the 140mm and 197mm depending on the glass
• Hotels and hospitality venues — espresso martinis, old fashioneds, negronis and other short cocktails where presentation detail matters across Limerick, Belfast and Sligo
• Restaurants with cocktail service — short drinks at the table where a full-length straw would look wrong; the black colour matches most premium table settings
• Events and weddings — 5,000 per case for high-volume cocktail service across Donegal, Cavan and Derry where presentation consistency matters throughout the event

Common with cocktail bars and premium hospitality venues across Ireland that serve short drinks — the 140mm length is the detail that makes the difference between a straw that looks right and one that looks like an afterthought.
