How to Get the Coconut Stick Top of a Martini Glass

Ingredients:

- 1-inch piece of fresh or dried coconut stick (found in most grocery stores)

- Martini glass

- Toothpick

- Honey

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Coconut Stick:

- If using a dried coconut stick, soak it in warm water for a few minutes to soften it.

- If using a fresh coconut stick, remove the outer bark to reveal the white flesh inside.

2. Shape the Coconut Stick:

- Using a sharp knife, carve the coconut stick into a decorative shape. You can make it pointed or give it a wavy edge.

3. Attach the Coconut Stick:

- Apply a small amount of honey to the rim of the martini glass.

- Press the shaped coconut stick into the honey to secure it firmly to the glass rim.

4. Use a Toothpick:

- To ensure that the coconut stick stays in place, insert a toothpick through the center of the stick and into the rim of the glass. This will provide additional support.

5. Let the Honey Set:

- Allow the honey to set for a few minutes before filling the glass with your martini.

By following these steps, you can easily achieve a visually appealing coconut stick garnish on your martini glass, adding a tropical flair to your cocktail presentation.
