Prodyne Stainless Steel & Pewter Martini Picks (Set Of 6), Silver

The media could not be loaded. Lighting in my video is a little dark, but these are great for cocktails - we used them for olives the other day in Martinis. These are really nice and luxurious for an awesome price

These martini picks are really cute. They come in a nice box which I like since I'm giving them as a gift.

These were a present for my husband and he was pleased with the look and the weight of the picks.

After using those little bamboo skewers sold in retail outlets (and often seen in bars, too), I decided it was time for an upgrade. These picks fit the bill perfectly. Okay, they don't look like sterling silver, but the designs are fun. Better for the environment than plastic, wood or bamboo picks that end up in landfills. (But, I'd guess martini picks don't make up a significant portion of landfill content.) Their sturdiness and sharp points make it easier to skewer escape-prone olives than the bamboo picks. I see no reason why these won't last for many years.

If you like martinis, either when serving or imbibing, there are several non-negotiables imo. Firstly, the taste must be to your liking, secondly the liquid should be ice cold (with no floating pieces of ice), and thirdly, it should have a good presentation. Unfortunately this does not always happen when you go out. If you value a nice presentation, these are for you. The picks are well made, perfectly sized and easy to clean. So far we have used them to skewer blackberries, raspberries, lemon slices and wedges, grapes, olives and chocolate truffles. They do not span across the rim of our glasses but rather dip into the glass with the point at the glass bottom and the top of the pick balanced on the rim.All of our guests have commented on them-they appreciate that little bit of extra effort. And of course the drink tastes better : )So unless you are popping a couple of olives in your mouth and swigging out of the bottle you may be interested in these. Highly recommended to add a little more fun to the evening.

I found these martini olive picks to be of good quality and I like that they are fun but still preserve that element of classic cool that a martini creates. The only downside to this arrangement is that there is no container or display for them and keeping them in the original package just won't cut it, so I ended up keeping mine in a tall shooter-style shot glass, which kind of keeps them handy and clean since you're not laying them down on something.

Fun skewers for cocktails that need ‘em. Also great for using for spearing appetizers.

A nice way to add a little class to your martinis when you're hosting. I've had these for over 2 years now. They have a solid weight about them. Stainless steel picks are every bit as sharp and shiny as they were when I first got them. The assortment of different pewter heads is a nice touch. Half of them grip or rest snugly against the edge of the glass, preventing them from slipping down into your drink - the two olives, the jigger, and the lime wedge. They can all easily fit 3 large olives. Not sure if they're dishwasher safe so I've always just hand washed them to err on the side of caution. They look nice with the set of glasses I use and are a good blend of novelty and functionality. Would definitely recommend. Worth the price! Added an image of the olive pick for a visual.
