Upselling your beverage menu is one of the best ways to boost your menu’s bottom line, but you’ll need to make sure to provide some extra value for your customer’s attention. Luckily for you, we’ve laid out some cheap, easy, low-prep solutions to spice up your bar menu. Pull up a stool, kick your feet up, and let us help your next creation become a fan favorite.

Mini Herb Crystals® Ginger

There’s a reason that rimmers are a classic bar-program staple – the combination of texture, burst of flavor, and visual boost of these items adds to the overall sensory experience of drinking a cocktail. Our Mini Herb Crystals® Ginger break up the boring salt & sugar rim monopoly by infusing a delicious ginger bite with a familiar rim ‘crunch’.

Surprise & Delight: Crafting Memorable Moments

One of the best ways to capture customer attention is to create 'Surprise & Delight' moments for guests. Patrons used to the same old salt or sugar rim on their drinks will be raving about their Mini Herb Crystal® Ginger-rimmed cocktail the second it hits their lips. Items like our Edible Flowers Viola & Hibiscus, along with our Micro Orchid™, are sure to leave guests asking for another. It doesn’t matter if your drink is shaken, stirred, blended, or sent to-go, adding these final touches to your next beverage menu is sure to create a memorable experience for your guests.

Viola

Violas are one of our most popular items, and for good reason – their velvety, inviting appearance adds a delicate touch to any beverage, and their lightly tart flavor is approachable to guests young and old alike. Use Violas as a visual boost for lemonades to add value to your guest’s to-go experience or float them on a summer Gin & Tonic for an instant floral upgrade. Find more information about Violas here.

Hibiscus Flower

Our Hibiscus Flowers are hand-selected for their outrageously stunning looks and nectar-sweet stems. Pluck one of these beauties out of a clam and drop it onto your favorite tequila drink and stand back while your guests whip out their phones to share a picture of this drink with all their friends. Find more information about Hibiscus Flower here.

Micro Orchids™

Bite into one of our Micro Orchids™ and prepare yourself for a crunchy burst of cucumber and watermelon flavor. These tiny orchids are the perfect complement to summer classics like Pimm’s Cup, allowing you to capture the summer season in a glass. Find more information about Micro Orchids™ here.

Create Viral Moments with Next-Level Visuals

Next-level visuals can create viral moments in and out of your business. Whether guests are sharing with friends on TikTok or causing a cascade of orders simply by having a drink dropped at their table (the Fajita effect, anyone!?), make sure to prepare your staff for extra attention when you add a drink topped with one of these items onto your menu. Our Petite® Amaranth Carnival Mix™ will have customers asking about the magical leaves sprouting from their drinks, and Firestix™ are guaranteed to bring drama and daring to any glass. If you’re looking for more flexibility, the next-level Decorative Flowers Multi-Colored Orchid & Premium Assortment are chock-full of top-shelf flowers made to add stunning variability to your beverage program.

Firestix™

Fire attracts attention like few things, and our Firestix™ provide a perfect edible dupe that is sure to have your guests crowding like moths to a flame. These sturdy flowers have an incredible shelf life and stand up straight on their woody stem for added visual appeal. Be careful - drop one into a spirit-forward lowball, and you’ll suddenly find yourself making ten of these drinks. Find more information about Firestix™ here.

Multi-Colored Orchids

A classic topper in a bar environment, our Decorative Flowers Multi-Colored Orchid brings unmatched quality and looks. We’ve selected some of our favorite colors and combined them into a single clam to help bring a bit of variety, and a whole lot of breezy tropical vibes, to any summer cocktail. Tiki drinks truly shine with these, so make sure to have them on hand the next time you break out the navy-strength rum or ceramic parrot glassware.

Premium Assortment

Premium Assortment is a seasonal collection of the most beautiful flowers currently growing on our farm. If your business is looking to bring a floral touch to your bar menu but doesn’t want to commit to a single flower for each drink, this is a perfect pick for you. Each guest gets their own outstanding flower. Don’t be surprised when guests order a second round just to see what shows up on their next glass. Find more information about Premium Assortment here.
