A cocktail garnish is a decorative item added to the top of a drink to enhance its presentation. Common garnishes used in cocktails include olives, ZEST, limes, rinds, peels, and parasols. Olives are small, green fruits that are often stuffed with pimento or blue cheese and served as a garnish. ZEST is the outermost layer of citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, and oranges. Limes are a type of citrus fruit that is often used to add flavor to drinks. Rinds are the thick, outer layer of citrus fruits. Peels are the thin, outer layer of citrus fruits. Parasols are small, paper umbrellas that are often used to decorate tropical-themed drinks.
