That being said, these look pretty good in a drink:

We shifted to using the green bamboo paper straws earlier this year. I was wary for all the stated reasons, but they hold up well enough for one drink. More than one drink and they do start to break down, but when I'm serving guests I've always given then a new straw with a new cocktail, even when we just had plastic straws. We went through a bunch on Saturday and our guests thought they were cool. Nobody was really nursing their drinks, so straw breakdown wasn't an issue. It just comes down to your personal needs.

I've looked at the metal straws available, but they're just to garish to fit in with the tiki vibe. Maybe once they start making them in more subdued colors...
