Anyone see any cute ideas for "drink design?" (not sure what else to call it! LOL!)

Im looking for something a tad whimsical for our signature drink. Our colors are green and brown....

Cutest thing I've seen is below but I can't find these lil monkeys in green.

Barrel of monkey drinks are the best thing I have seen. ever. I have now decided the next party that DH and I throw will be monkey themed. His favorite animal is monkeys and I work with them, and how can you resist a barrel of monkeys. Sorry I am no help to your search.

We are going to have a purple signature cocktail. The drink is called the purple passion. We made stir sticks from left over scrapbook paper all matching the purple theme!

you can make paper decor and put it on swizzle sticks! There was a good blog post today about drink flags.

i saw a martha picture once with flowers on each cup as placecards but I can't find it right now!

I also saw a martha idea where there was a type of "fun straw / bendy straw / crazy straw" (hell, it could have just been a straw with a knot tied in it) that was really cute too...just trying to do something easy and cheap to jazz them up.

I found these on Oriental Trading Company's website...only thing is they come in a varied color packet & can not be ordered by color...

@gurlwithapen: I know what you're talking about! I saw it on marthastewartweddings.com, too and I love it and really want to use it. Too cute! They're love knot straws for your drinks!
