The Grand Garnisher travels at a whopping 25 mph, thanks to a number of things including a well-dressed man pedaling a large - wheeled bicycle. It's also 38 feet long and can slice up to 18 cucumbers per hour. “It’s not the most efficient way to garnish a cocktail,” explained Stoddard, “but we do believe it is the most spectacular.”
