Drink Garnish Ideas

Somehow drinks just taste better when they're "pretty."

Ok, well, not really. But they sure are a lot more fun to drink!

By adding a simple drink garnish to your cocktail, you can dazzle your drinks and your friends.

Take a peek below for some super fun ideas. Cheers!

Use citrus curls and citrus slices to add some pizazz to the rims of glasses.

Skewer fruit onto a party pick and use it to top off fruity cocktails.

Purchase drink umbrellas and use them to add a special touch to your drinks.

Edible flowers give drinks a fresh and fun look. Just be sure that any flowers you use have not been treated with chemicals.

Add an ice ring to your punch bowl. Fill it with cranberries, raspberries, flowers, citrus slices, mint leaves...the list goes on and on! Fill a ring mold about 1/3 full of water; add about 1/3 of the decoration of your choice. Freeze until firm. Add another 1/3 of water and decoration; freeze. Repeat with remaining 1/3 of water and decoration. Freeze until ready to use. To remove mold, hold the bottom portion of the mold in warm water for about 30 seconds. Add to punch bowl and enjoy! You can also try the ice ring pictured here from Taste of Home. Not having a punch bowl? Use the same process as above but make ice cubes instead!
