31Dover.com is soon going to be selling edible straws perfect for alcoholic drinks.

The straws are designed to accompany accompany the Diageo Premix range – including a G&T, Baileys and Pimms.

There will be an edible strawberry straw, perfect for Pimms and lemonade; a lime straw for Gordons Gin and Schweppes Tonic and finally, a chocolate flavoured straw for Baileys and Iced Coffee Latte.

A second lime option is said to work well with cans of Smirnoff and cranberry.

The straws have been made to help reduce the millions of plastic straws that are used all over the world.

They will be available later in August.

This isnt the first time weve seen an edible straw – just a few months ago we wrote about Shakes Iced Cream Cafe, which introduced pasta straws to help the environment.

Theyre biodegradable, meaning they can be decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms, and do not need to be recycled.

Also – they dont go mushy like paper straws, and dont affect the taste of the drink, either.

Alongside this, last December, we wrote about a startup in the process of creating edible straws.

Loliware is creating straws using seaweed-based materials, which have a shelf live of two years. However, if you leave them in liquid, theyll dissolve in 24 hours.

Theyre flavoured to add a little something extra to your drink, including caramel, mango and chocolate options.
