Product Overview

As a staple accessory for professional mixologists and upscale catering services, our 4.7-inch (120mm) bamboo knot picks combine timeless rustic elegance with functional practicality. Crafted from 100% natural premium bamboo, each pick is hand-tied by skilled artisans and steam-set to ensure the loop stays tight. The 120mm length is ideal for resting across cocktail glass rims to hold olives and fruit slices, or securing single-bite tapas and catering appetizers. High-temperature degreased and completely odor-free, these picks offer a clean, eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic cocktail skewers.

• Odor-Free & Unbleached: Degreased and dried under high temperatures without sulfur fumigation, guaranteeing zero sour smell to preserve the delicate aroma of cocktails and foods.
• Classic 120mm Cocktail Length: The 4.7-inch design fits standard glassware and appetizer plates perfectly without cluttering food presentation.
