Every great cocktail and mixer deserves a great garnish. Beyond just making for beautiful presentation, garnishes are often used to add subtle flavours to a drink that can’t be achieved by simply adding another ingredient to the mix.

Choosing the Right Garnish

Most cocktail recipes will recommend the type of citrus to use. If it does not, simply choose one that complements the drink.
For some cocktails or mixers the cut or shape of the citrus is more important than the garnish itself.
the half slice of lime is a great fit for tall mixers and rum cocktails.
