Why Bartenders Choose Dried Pineapple Slices Over Fresh Fruit
The Professional Bartender's Secret Weapon
In the fast-paced world of professional bartending, dried pineapple slices have revolutionized cocktail garnishing. From high-end cocktail lounges to busy sports bars, bartenders are making the switch from fresh to dried pineapple slices for compelling reasons that go far beyond convenience.
The Fresh Fruit Problem Every Bartender Knows
Time and Waste Issues
Fresh pineapple preparation during busy service creates multiple problems:
- 15+ minutes prep time per pineapple
- 30-40% waste from skin, core, and unusable parts

- Sticky cleanup that slows down service
- Inconsistent sizing affects presentation quality
Cost and Storage Challenges
- Seasonal price fluctuations make budgeting difficult
- Short shelf life leads to frequent spoilage
- Refrigeration space at premium in most bars
- Unpredictable quality varies by supplier and season
