EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT OUR GARNISHES

Our dehydrated citrus garnishes have a shelf life of up to 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, we recommend using them within 6 months for optimal flavor and appearance. Every package includes a best-by date for easy tracking. This extended shelf life is one of the biggest reasons bars and restaurants prefer dehydrated over fresh — zero waste, zero spoilage.

Store your garnishes in their original resealable packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Keep them away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Avoid refrigeration — condensation can rehydrate the fruit and reduce shelf life. Most of our bar clients keep them right at the garnish station in an airtight container for easy access during service.

Every Cocktail Garnish Co. product is made from 100% real fruit — no added sugars, preservatives, sulfites, or artificial ingredients. We source premium citrus and dehydrate at low temperatures to preserve natural color, flavor, and nutritional profile. What you see is what you get: pure, beautiful fruit.

We carry a full range of dehydrated citrus wheels: Lemon, Lime, Orange, Blood Orange, Grapefruit, Pineapple, Apple, and Blood Orange Salt. Each variety is hand-sliced for consistent thickness and dehydrated for uniform quality. Browse our full product collection to find the right fit for your cocktail program.

Yes. All of our dehydrated citrus garnishes are naturally gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, and free of all major allergens. They're simply fruit — nothing else. Please note that our Blood Orange Salt variety does contain salt as an added ingredient. If you carry our All The Bitter bitters, please check individual product pages for allergen info (e.g., Fig & Walnut contains tree nuts).

100%. Our garnishes are perfect for mocktails, sparkling water, lemonade, iced tea, craft sodas, and hot cocktails. They're also popular on charcuterie boards, in baked goods, as cake decorations, and for food plating. Many of our clients use them across their entire beverage and food program — not just the bar.

No — our dehydrated wheels are built for service. They hold their shape and float beautifully in cocktails for the life of the drink. Over time they'll slowly rehydrate and release subtle citrus flavor into the cocktail, which actually enhances the drinking experience. They won't dissolve, disintegrate, or turn to mush.

Case counts vary by product size. Our standard case contains 6 bags, and each bag contains approximately 22–55 wheels depending on the citrus variety and slice diameter. For exact counts and sizing, check individual product pages or reach out to our team for a volume estimate based on your weekly cocktail output.

The top reasons our clients switch:

Zero waste — No more tossing wilted citrus at end of shift
Consistency — Every wheel is uniform in size and appearance
Speed — No prep time, no cutting boards, no sticky hands
Cost savings — Eliminates daily fresh citrus purchases and labor
Shelf life — 24 months vs. 3–5 days for fresh

Most bars recoup the cost within the first week of switching. Learn more about our wholesale program.
