A cocktail stick is a short cylindrical stick, made of wood, that has a point on both ends. It is usually used as a skewer for holding decorations (such as cherries) in [[cocktails]] and also for serving food (such as small "cocktail" sausages or diced [[cheese]] and [[pineapple]] chunks) at parties.

Cocktail sticks are useful in the kitchen to hold stuffed or rolled meats in position whilst they cook.  They come in handy for the inexperienced cook to temporarily hold stuffed [[butterflied]] meats together whilst they are being trussed with [[kitchen string]].  
====The best knot to tie kitchen twine single-handedly====
After much experimenting, I have discovered the best knot to tie [[kitchen twine]] on your own is the ''[[Surgeons' knot]]''.
