Fruits for Drinks, a Hertfordshire-based drinks company, has created a range of delicious freeze-dried garnishes to help budding mixologists create their favourite drinks from home.

Weighing approximately 85% less than fresh fruit, Fruits for Drinks’ garnishes are helping to reduce carbon emissions during transportation. What’s more, they don’t have to be refrigerated and will keep in the cupboard for up to 2 years. Made from 100% natural fruit and available in blueberry, lemon, lime, orange, strawberry and raspberry, cocktail enthusiasts can enjoy locked in flavours and aromas.

Mirella Cestaro of Fruits for Drinks says: “Fruits for Drinks is here so consumers can enjoy the perfect drink all the time. The idea came from liking a G&T at home but being put off by the hard, dry, half-used brown lime in the fridge rather than a delicious, zesty and bursting-with-flavour piece of fruit.

"We knew there had to be a way to make this happen for us and everyone who likes a nice-looking and great-tasting drink at home - and not by using horrible, brown, dehydrated fruit which adds no flavour and looks unappealing. So we source fruit – we follow the fruit season around the world – freeze-dry it and package it. Now everyone can enjoy their favourite drink at home with a great fruit garnish.”

These impressive garnishes can also be used in tea, water and soft drinks and are ready to enjoy in seconds. Not only does the fruit give the drink a great taste, but it’s rehydrating and refreshing too. Even better, Fruits for Drinks is helping to reduce waste by preventing manky fruit from being thrown in the bin.
