What to look for when buying dehydrated cocktail garnishes
1. A clear ingredient list
Start by checking what is actually in the pouch. Dried Yet. classic Orange Slices, Lemon Slices and Lime Slices are made with the fruit itself and no added sugar, preservatives or sulfites.
2. Garnishes that match the drinks you make
A garnish is most useful when it has an obvious place in your drink lineup. Orange works well as a starting point for Old Fashioneds, spritzes and mocktails. Lemon fits whiskey sours, gin drinks, tea and mocktails. Lime is a natural fit for margaritas, mojitos, mocktails and tiki-style drinks.
3. Ready-to-use format
Dried Yet. core citrus is hand-sliced and slow-dried before packaging, so there is no fruit slicing required at serving time. The slices are crisp rather than chewy and come in resealable pouches.
4. Enough variety to build a garnish lineup
If your menu moves beyond classic citrus, look for options that can support different drink styles. Dried Yet. also offers Blood Orange Slices, Smoked Oak Orange Slices, Smoked Lemon Slices and Smoked Lime Slices.
5. A path for larger hospitality needs
If you are buying for a bar, restaurant, hotel or beverage program, retail pouch selection is only part of the decision. Dried Yet. also has a dedicated Bar Program for hospitality buyers exploring samples, pricing and wholesale use.
