Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für beste Ergebnisse alle Früchte und Kräuter gründlich waschen und trocken tupfen, damit die Garnitur frisch bleibt. Die Zitrusscheiben fächerförmig anordnen, um ein attraktives Muster zu erzeugen. Verwenden Sie kleine Schalen für Zuckerwürfel, kandierten Ingwer und essbaren Glitzer, damit Gäste leicht auswählen können. Dekorative Karaffen machen den Sirup und Fruchtpürees besonders ansprechend.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Variieren Sie die Früchte je nach Saison oder Geschmack – Blaubeeren, Ananas oder Sternfrucht bringen zusätzliche Farbe. Statt Basilikum können Sie auch Rosmarinzweige für eine festliche, nadelige Note verwenden. Für vegane Varianten darauf achten, dass Zuckerwürfel und dekorativer Glitzer vegan zertifiziert sind. Die Vielfalt an Sirupen und Säften lässt sich je nach verfügbarer Auswahl anpassen.

Serviervorschläge

Diese Garniturplatte passt hervorragend zu verschiedenen Schaumweinen wie Brut, Rosé oder Prosecco – ebenso zu alkoholfreien prickelnden Getränken. Kombinieren Sie die Garnituren mit Käseplatten oder anderen Vorspeisen, um eine vollständige Bar für Ihre Feier zu schaffen. Sorgen Sie für ausreichend Tongs und Cocktailspieße, damit Gäste ihre individuellen Gläser gestalten können.
