Zero-Waste Bartending: The Future is Dried
The hospitality industry generates over 11.3 million tons of food waste annually, with fresh fruit garnishes contributing significantly to this problem. At Garnish ME Cocktails, we're revolutionizing how bars and restaurants approach cocktail presentation while dramatically reducing their environmental footprint.
The Hidden Cost of Fresh Garnishes
Every day, bars across America throw away pounds of spoiled citrus and fruit. Fresh lemons last 3-4 days, limes even less, and exotic fruits like dragon fruit can spoil within 24 hours of slicing. This isn't just wasteful—it's expensive and unsustainable.
Our dried fruit garnishes eliminate this waste entirely. With a 12-month shelf life, our premium dried orange, lemon, lime, pineapple, and dragon fruit slices ensure that every piece you purchase gets used, not discarded.
Supporting Your Sustainability Goals
Today's consumers—especially millennials and Gen Z—actively choose businesses that demonstrate environmental responsibility. By switching to Garnish ME's dried fruit garnishes, you're not just reducing waste; you're showcasing your commitment to sustainability in every cocktail you serve.
