That’s right, instead of cutting and peeling (often adding an extra 10-20 seconds to your prep time), you get to reach, grab, and elegantly place.
Over the long run, that’s enough extra time to turn a busy shift from an un-happy hour to a relaxed and controlled experience for yourself, and your customers.
You’ll have more free time to keep these conversations going, help out your teammates, and generally look like a pro.
Let’s use lime and lemon wheels, for example…
I’ve seen many bartenders waste a good chunk of the fruit on either side of their citrus wheels.
While the fruit wastage adds up over a shift, each individual piece isn’t quite big enough to juice, or to turn into another garnish.
Ever heard the expression ‘people drink with their eyes’?
It’s true – the better your cocktails look, the more your customers will enjoy them.
Prepping garnishes ahead of a shift is a no-brainer for saving time –
but can you nail down the exact amount you’re going to use, every time? If so, you’re basically Nostradamus.
There are two outcomes when you pre-prep your garnishes: you underestimate, and get caught short-handed –
usually in the middle of the unexpected rush that caused you to underestimate in the first place.
Or, you overestimate –
and either end up with soggy (or dried out) citrus in your customer’s glass, and/or a compost full of expensive fruit. It’s not just the fruit itself –
it’s the labor that went into cutting, storing, and tossing it.
Garniche dehydrated fruits are certified for consumption and shelf stable 6-8 months.
In ambient temperature or 12 months if stored in 35-45 degree temperature.
Good bartenders are pretty darned close to perfect humans – but they’re still not machines.
One person’s cuts are inevitably thicker or thinner than the next.
That makes it next to impossible to accurately assign a cost-per-garnish amount to your finished drinks.
When you buy Garniche dehydrated fruits, you will know the ‘average contents’.
This will give you the ability to nail down your per-unit costing, and manage your inventory with ease.
When you strip the water out of anything, it usually intensifies the remaining ingredients.
Garniche dehydrated fruits are no different.
We’re talking about aromas, the increased aromas that they impart can be used to a bartender’s advantage.
(And they are still completely edible, just in case an overenthusiastic patron decides to chow down on one.)
Garniche dehydrated fruits have a ton of benefits – with a really wide range of applications.
There’s so much to learn about which fruits and vegetables you can dehydrate, and the best ways to use them.
