Will they collapse in tall drinks like paper straws?

No - rye stems maintain their structural integrity throughout the entire service, even in tall drinks. Unlike paper straws that get soggy and collapse, rye straws stay strong.

What's the difference between 5-inch and 8-inch straws?

5-inch straws are perfect for rocks glasses and mint juleps, while 8-inch straws are designed for tall cocktails like highballs, Collins drinks, and mojitos.

How should bartenders store these straws?

Do they affect the taste of cocktails?

Rye straws are neutral to faintly grassy in taste. Most bartenders find they enhance rather than detract from the cocktail experience.
