I think the straw should be considered a garnish. And, as a garnish it should be given all of the same attention to detail as the drink it is going to reside in. And, there is no reason why the straw can serve as the support structure for a really wild garnish! Take a large grape or cherry tomato and push the straw through it. Then poke the mint leaves into the fruit. Cut the straw so it is just a bit taller than the glass. Ta-da! Straw as garnish! Everyone is happy. And we all drink to be happy don't we?
