Summer is here, and nothing says "Instagram-worthy cocktail" like a vibrant, beautifully garnished drink. Whether you're a professional mixologist or a weekend bartender, the addition of high-quality dried fruit can instantly elevate the look, aroma, and flavor of your beverages.

Our Bar Necessities dried citrus collection includes lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, and blood orange—each slice slow-dried to perfection to retain its bold color and zesty scent. These garnishes not only look stunning on the rim of a glass or floating in a cocktail, but they also offer a subtle aromatic boost.

Why It Works:

• 70% of consumers say the presentation of a cocktail influences their purchase decision (Source: Bacardi Global Cocktail Trends Report).

• Dried citrus garnishes reduce waste and are shelf-stable, making them ideal for high-volume bars.

• Popular in everything from spritzes to margaritas, a single slice of blood orange or grapefruit can make a summer drink pop.

For a more tropical vibe, our pineapple, mango, pomelo, and dragon fruit slices bring bold sweetness and exotic flair to tiki drinks, mojitos, and rum punch. Their vibrant hues also stand out in photos—perfect for marketing your summer drink menu.

Perfect Pairings:

• Lemon or lime with mojitos, spritzes, and iced cocktails

• Blood orange for Negronis, Aperol spritzes, and bourbon-based drinks

• Grapefruit in Palomas, G&Ts, or poolside spritz cocktails

And don’t sleep on the tropical side: our dried pineapple, mango, pomelo, and dragon fruit slices add island flavor and dramatic visual contrast. These are perfect for rum punches, daiquiris, frozen cocktails, and tiki bar menus.

Whether you run a bar, resort, or just want to impress at your next BBQ, these garnishes make every glass camera-ready.
