The invention provides a straw having a flavor-producing coating (20) on its outer surface (14). The straw acts to flavor liquids and can substitute or compliment existing garnishes, thus enhancing the flavor and enjoyment of various mixed beverages. When the straw is used as a drinking straw, the carrier adhesive melts, releasing flavor agent particles into direct contact with the consumer's tongue stimulating the taste buds. When the straw is used as a stirrer in liquids, the carrier adhesive melts releasing flavor agent particles, thus imparting flavoring to the liquid. |
