Reddit mentions: The best cocktail picks

Okay, I'll bite. These are all items I currently carry in my EDC organizer that are under $10.

• Uncle Bill's tweezers (definitely not in the everyday use category, but superb for that "damn I need this" category. e.g. wife with metal filing splinter)

• 16 oz Nalgene (just started carrying mine and glad I did. e.g. I need to drink more water)

• Mirror (sure you can use your phone, but I've found it handy a few times. e.g. at work place before meetings; to pick that food out your teeth after lunch)

• Toothpicks (to pick said food from teeth before meeting)

• WD-40 pen (cuz... WD-40. e.g. squeaks and stuff)

• Hand Sanitizer pen (because germs. e.g. after a BBQ Brisket Quesadilla for lunch)

• Gorilla Glue super glue (again, used a few times, but in a "save the day" type of situation.)

• Plastic or Metal Collar Stays (I always seem to forget collar stays, so I pack them in my EDC organizer)

• $10 (in cash) (I've forgotten my wallet once before—but had my EDC organizer in my laptop bag—still got to eat lunch that day)

Yes I realize 4 of my items specifically mention "lunch".

My go to for gift giving advice: "If the person has had a stable job for longer than a year or so they don't really want anything you can just pick up at a store and buy. They can do that themselves, but every person with a job is in need of the same thing, time. If you can spend the time to make something cool with arts and crafts, they will love it for forever. Social media is an immense fountain of inspiration for these kinds of things and you can almost always find guides to make things by yourself, and relatively cheap."

Food for DnD should be be of the snacks, tapas, hors d'oeuvres, appetizers variety, i.e. bitesize (unless you plan on taking a break to eat). You'll want to avoid things that can spill or drip onto papers. Chips are always greasy and will ruin character sheets/smear screens. I wouldn't expect DnD players to clean their fingers constantly at the table, so if you want to use sauce, keep it to a minimum and use toothpicks (these little swords will be well received at any table). I also suggest avoiding bone-in and other things that will leave "evidence" behind. Cut off the tails of shrimp, and if you burn the side of something cut off the burnt part. And don't forget to consider allergy and dietary concerns.

These friggin cupcake sticks are add-ons. They are adorable, very Alice in Wonderland like. I'd would love them for my wedding!

Add-on are pesky

Happy Friday-Eve to you too!

Toothpicks, the decorated or fun little plastic sword kind, you can even find reusable metal and sturdy plastic.

Sandwich Frill Picks 1000ct https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0016KVRVY/

Tomato for sandwiches are best with the”tomato water” and seeds removed, and as a previous poster said, pat them dry.

Toasting bread also gives it texture and stiffness, and it will help some in gtipping the ingredients that are adjacent.

So you can't tell by the photo, but the pick does extend to the bottom of the glass! For reference, these are the picks I use and they're great.

It's like one that you use on the grill - long, flat, with a slightly twisty point at the end - I also have a spike that I think might have been for olives or something that works quite well.

Examples - cocktail spears or bbq skewers - dig through the cutlery at your local thrift store if you have one (and wear gloves...) and you'll probably find a few possibilities :)

Vietnamese-American bride and Brazilian-American Groom

1. we bought flag toothpicks from our respective countries and they'll be used for the appetizers lol
   world flags direct and amazon
   
   
2. we are changing into traditional Vietnamese outfits (ao dai) during the reception when we're walking around greeting guests doing table pictures
   
   
3. still on the fence about this but was thinking about having Bem casados (Brazilian wedding cookies) as a favor or snack

Two Three questions:

1) How important is the "ninja" to you?

Standard straight-bladed cocktail sword picks are much easier to source.

1.5) Visually, what makes something a "ninja sword" to you? Shape of the blade? Type of guard/hilt? Etc.

2) How many do you want?

If you want curved blades, or anything else that differs from the generic straight sword picks, I suspect you'll have to go to a wholesaler like NSB in Chantilly, who probably sells them in 500 or 1000-unit lots.

Like others have said, too much glass not enough martini. I think your problem is you're making a traditional sized martini, but using a modern glass. Double your amount of vodka and vermouth, but leave the rest the same and it'll look much better. Edit: Whoops I spaced on the amount of liquor that goes into a martini, a 3-4 oz. martini is normal, this is a big glass isn't it.


And I sorta agree with /u/veggietrooper about the glass style, but for different reasons. To me a coupe says gin martini, while a straight-sided cocktail glass says vodka martini.


I'm also not a fan of the single use cocktail picks, both due to sustainability and aesthetic concerns, you could improve the look with some reusable ones like these (Or if you don't take yourself too seriously these).

Some American flag picks would be great for topping campaign cupcakes. The kind that help get your name out there.

Go vote, kid.

Mostly just to look cute :) But it's shaped sort of like a toothpick, so you could use it to eat small foods if you want. Get it here!

Get some cocktail picks that look like arrows if you want to have fun with it. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Plastic-Cocktail-Toothpicks-Soodhalter/dp/B019UYXMTM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1536729437&sr=8-2&keywords=cocktail+picks+arrows

I once liked a girl but I was shy. After months of seeing her on the hallways, at the benches, or anywhere around school, I finally had the courage to ask her out. She agreed, I brought her to a romantic place for dinner, she was so easy to talk with I did not notice it was already getting late at night.

After dinner, I asked if I could walk her home. She was hesitant at first, but I kept on it with a mixture of "pa-cute" and insistence until finally she relented. Along the way, we passed by a group of young guys on the street leading up to their house, one guy noticed us and said "Pare, siyoto mo yun ah". She stopped on her tracks, rushed to the guy and said "hi babe, buti na lang nandito ka na, yung gagong yan oh sinabi ko ng lubayan ako, sunod pa rin ng sunod sa akin".

Tang-ina pare, naiwan ko kasi yung bag ko, kung hindi nailabas ko sana yung binili ko sa [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/American-Metalcraft-IC80-8-1-Pick/dp/B00125NJ64) at sinaksak ko sila ng icepick!

Feta stuffed Greek meatballs with tzatziki!

Toss a bunch of Cavender's Greek seasoning into your ground meat of choice (ground beef/lamb blend for extra authenticity), roll the balls around however much feta you want inside your meatball, bake for ~25 minutes at 400, serve with tzatziki, salad, whatever you like.

I like to spear them with these fancy-ass bamboo toothpicks and serve them as appetizers.

Maybe these? If so, that's an awesome name for them!

If you can find cocktail picks that have a large handle, like this https://www.amazon.com/Prodyne-Miniature-Sword-Martini-Metallic/dp/B000E7ZTZU, then you can simple allow them to hang inside of the ice ball through the top fill holes.

Are you set on the set from Top Shelf? They're not quite the same but I have these and I like them.

Decided to poke around since I'm doing the insomniacs thing tonight and saw a few more cool ones.
