About McMann & Tate Dried Lemon Garnishes
Add the fruit, skip the twist: that is the idea behind the whole McMann & Tate garnish line. Gentle drying concentrates the lemon's zest and essential oils, so each wheel reads clearly through the glass and perfumes the drink as it slowly rehydrates. Keep a jar beside the rest of your mixers and garnishes and every sour, spritz and highball gets a professional finish in seconds.
How to Use
Float a wheel on a Whiskey Sour or Bee's Knees, rim a French 75 or Lemon Drop, or drop one into iced tea and lemonade for an instant upgrade. Lemon pairs across the bar — with gin, vodka, tequila and bourbon alike — and sits naturally alongside the bitters in our amaro and bitters shelf when you are building a full garnish kit from the cocktails collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dried lemon garnishes keep?
Sealed in the jar and stored cool and dry, they keep for many months with their color and aroma intact — no refrigeration and no spoiled fruit.
Can I use them in non-alcoholic drinks?
Absolutely. They are simply dried fruit, so they work just as well in iced tea, lemonade, sparkling water and zero-proof cocktails.
Do they change the flavor of the drink?
Gently. As the wheel rehydrates it releases lemon aroma and a light citrus note that complements the drink rather than overpowering it.
