Garnishes

Garnishes are the fruits, toppings etc that are placed in a drink. They play a big part in making the drink. It's about as important as the bride is to the groom. Here are some basic rules:

1. Generally, any drink served with tequila comes with a lime wedge.

2. Also, any drink that has club soda or tonic also comes with a lime unless it's a flavored vodka (Absolut Mandarin & Soda).


3. Cherries are applied to alot of drinks. Almost anything with sour mix (whiskey sours), frozen/blended drinks, and tropical run drinks like Mai Tais.

So if you are trying to impress your friends with your bartending skills, avoid faux pas like a slice of orange on a Margarita.
