Best Garnish Crops for Cocktails
Cocktail garnish works best when aroma arrives before the sip. Bronze fennel fits gin, aquavit, citrus, and cucumber drinks. Lemon basil adds bright citrus-herb lift. Nasturtium brings peppery floral character and visual punch. Shiso adds a basil-mint-anise profile that works especially well in Japanese-inspired or spirit-forward builds.
