Four cocktail picks from Octaevo, each topped with a pearl shell. Skewer an olive, a twist of citrus, or a brandied cherry, and the garnish sits upright in the glass instead of sliding to the bottom. The same picks work away from the bar cart, holding cheese cubes, cornichons, and rolled salami on a grazing board, which is where most appetizer picks earn their keep anyway.
If your usual move is a jar of plain cocktail toothpicks, this is the upgrade: four matching drink picks that look deliberate in a coupe or standing in a dish beside the shaker. The shell motif reads summery in July and quietly nautical in December, so it is a tidy place to start on your bar accessories.
What are cocktail picks for? Cocktail picks are small skewers used to hold garnishes such as olives, citrus peel, or cherries in a drink, and they double as picks for appetizers like cheese and charcuterie. Reusable metal picks are used in place of disposable toothpicks so a bar or grazing board can be set with matching pieces.
