Chikotan Charcoal Stirs.
These Chikotan Charcoal Stirs are interesting. I wonder what exactly there is to purify in a cocktail though…
Think of Chikotan as the ultimate swizzle stick. This high quality Japanese Bamboo charcoal stirrer is perfect for stirring and purifying drinks and cocktails. 3 piece set.

April 4, 2009 at 12:22 amHi Kelly. Thanks for posting our product on your beautiful site! To answer your question, the sticks work best in a glass of water, but can be used in cocktails. The logic is that many cocktails are made with ice which is usually made from direct tap water. Cancer-causing substances such as nitrogen oxide, lead, trihalomethane, and sulfur oxide in gasoline are used in large amount by today’s modern world. These chemicals get mixed in waters that travel through streams to your tap.
Using charcoal can make water safe and tastier. Micro organisms living in the porous charcoal can break down unhealthy organic matter. Chorline taste and other unpleasant odors will be eliminated by absorptions into the charcoal. Ash in the charcoal (minerals) contains nutrients such as magnesium, manganese, calcium, and iron which dissolve easily in the water. It’s also a great eco-friendly product since it comes from the Earth. When charcoals life is over, you can break it up and put it in your garden or indoor plants soil – they will benefit from its nutrients. Sorry for the long answer, but hopefully your readers will become familiar with all the wonderful qualities of white charcoal!
