Inside the Cocktail Garnish Co. New York facility producing bulk dehydrated citrus garnish
Our mother's all think we are all just at Cocktail Garnish Co. playing video games all day - but seriously, we're working.... and this video proves it. Take a glimpse into a day at Cocktail Garnish Co. and see what some of this small batch cocktail garnish looks like as we progress through a day of filling orders and bagging finished product.

We've been so coveted in our little Cocktail Garnish Co. facility that we wanted to have a bit of an open house, and you're invited!

Is drink garnish the most alluring thing in the world? No. Is it kind of cool though that we have built one of the best cocktail garnish companies around? Yes. Some of our team said that they'd love to show you around a little and let you know what goes on here.


We also encounter a 100% increase in our utility bill for December and struggle around making sense of the graph. It's not easy making sure the logistics of the bank, credit card, AR, team happiness, and staying in business all work out in the end but this team is committed to winning.




From Production Manager + Partner, Brendan O'Shaughnessy or Warehouse Manager + Partner, Kevin Torres, we get to take a glimpse of how long they've been with us as well as what goes on in this facility as far as day to day operations go. We tried to get Angie on the show but it may take a little time to get her to warm up to us considering she's only been with us for such a short time.

Our New York facility isn't just a warehouse; it's where we produce the highest-quality dehydrated citrus garnish in the country. From hand-slicing dehydrated lime wheels for cocktails to managing the logistics of bulk dried citrus garnish orders, our team is committed to excellence. Whether you want to buy dehydrated orange slices for your home bar or are looking for a dried citrus cocktail garnish wholesale partner, this is where the magic happens.

Manufacturing Premium Cocktail Garnish Dehydrated Citrus

People often ask why we don't outsource. The answer is quality. We control the temperature and thickness of every dried lemon slice for cocktails, ensuring that when you buy from us, you get a shelf-stable product that fresh fruit can't beat. Managing a 100% utility spike in December is just part of the job when you're dedicated to producing the best dried citrus wheels margarita garnish on the market.

Dehydrated Grapefruit Slices (21ct) | Dried Ruby Red Cocktail Garnish

Dried ruby red grapefruit wheels for palomas, greyhounds and mezcal drinks — the widest citrus wheel we cut, with the pink blush held through drying rather than bleached out of it.

One ingredient: ruby red grapefruit.
