No doubt that ground glass bits would be a poor garnish for a volcano drink. Which is why I'm not so sure a lab pipette would be stout enough.

I recall having an irish coffee someplace in Chicago about 35-40 years ago, and there was a glass "straw" to sip the hot coffee. It was thick glass and very stout and I believe there was a thicker ring about an inch from the end, sort of like a handle or a heat exchanger?? I dunno. Perhaps they had lawsuits so they don't exist anymore.

Speaking of glass, I've gotten some gifts are glass drink stirrers! Got some little palm trees that are my personal favorites. The top decorations seem very fragile though and I haven't used them for that reason. Someone would end up poking their eye out, or dropping them on the bar and glass palm fronds would go everywhere. Too dangerous when mixed with rum drinks.

Here's a pix of my Ukulele Lemonade (virgin drink) with the stirrer in it. (I like photographing my drink concoctions...duh....I need a life)
