Cocktail napkins are small, absorbent napkins typically used at parties or gatherings to serve drinks. They are designed to prevent condensation from cold beverages from wetting surfaces and to provide a convenient way for guests to wipe their hands or mouths while sipping on cocktails. Often made of paper or cloth, cocktail napkins come in a variety of colors, patterns, and themes, adding a decorative touch to social events. Their compact size makes them easy to handle, making them a practical and stylish accessory for hosting.
