Don't drill it out and dowel, or wait for the glue to dry before putting the screw in - neither of these is as as strong as what looks like the 'quick bodge' method, until you realise why the 'quick bodge' is actually the best. By putting the screw back in with the glue wet, you compress the glue and wood fibres around the remains of the old stripped thread and create a very strong bond.
I would even use three bits of stick if they will go in - don't worry about leaving enough room for the screw, it will compress the new wood anyway even if the hole is totally full.

As far as actual cocktails go I imagine they are for holding the olive in your martini?

As a kid I loved a good hedgehog at any family gathering.
