The OG Rye Stem Cocktail Straw

Eco-Premium CollectionAuthentic Rye Stem Cocktail Straws - The Original Natural Alternative

Discover the heritage of authentic cocktail service with our premium rye stem straws, grown and harvested at Shaffer Farms in British Columbia. These natural drinking straws have been the bartender's choice since the 1800s, offering superior performance and authentic character that modern alternatives simply cannot match.

Why Rye Stems Are Superior

Unlike paper straws that collapse or metal straws that alter taste, rye stems maintain their structural integrity throughout service while providing a neutral, slightly grassy flavor that enhances rather than detracts from your cocktails. The natural bore diameter (4-6mm) provides perfect flow control, while the organic material positions your nose closer to garnishes for an enhanced aromatic experience.

Complete Size Range

  • 5-Inch Straws: Perfect for rocks glasses, mint juleps, and short cocktails where aroma placement is critical
  • 8-Inch Straws: Ideal for highball glasses, Collins cocktails, and tall mixed drinks
  • Mixed Packs: Comprehensive solution for establishments serving all cocktail types

Professional Performance

Our rye straws are single-use for maximum hygiene, fully compostable for environmental responsibility, and PFAS-free for health safety. Each straw maintains its structure throughout the entire service period, ensuring consistent customer experience even during busy periods.

Heritage & Authenticity

Shaffer Farms has been perfecting the art of rye straw production for generations, using traditional harvesting methods that preserve the natural characteristics that make these straws superior. When you choose OG Rye Straws, you're not just buying a product - you're investing in authentic cocktail heritage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do rye straws get soggy like paper straws?

No - rye stalks maintain their structure throughout the entire service without getting soggy or collapsing, even in tall cocktails.

Are they gluten-free?

Will they change the flavor of cocktails?

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