Tricky Fish has become a hot spot for happy hour, brunch cocktails, pre-dinner cocktails, and frankly, the best cocktails in Richardson, TX. We’re thankful so many of our guests enjoy and appreciate the care our bartenders put into their craft.
Want to dabble in craft cocktails at home? Then you need to keep these 4 fabulous cocktail garnishes on hand to take yours up a notch:
Fresh Mint
This aromatic herb is perfect for mojitos, or maybe a mint julep. Depending on the cocktail, you can experiment with stirring it into the cocktail or muddling it with a high-quality muddler. Be careful not to over-muddle; it will get bitter! Another great thing about mint? It’s so easy to grow in a window ledge.
Fresh Citrus
Do yourself a favor and just buy a handful of limes, lemons, and oranges each time you’re at the grocery store. Keep them on hand to squeeze into cocktails – or use slices or the peel or garnish. Use the zest or experiment with fancy ways of cutting the peel. One thing is for sure: do it right, and your guests will be impressed.
Infused Salt
Want to make that margarita even better? Make your own flavor-infused salt! Grab a mortar and pestle and grind kosher salt with your choice of fresh herbs, citrus zest, or spices. Dip the rim of your glass in the fresh salt and enjoy!
Fresh Pineapple
Making a tropical frozen concoction? Pina coladas, anyone? Pineapples are the perfect tropical garnish to add a little pop to your cocktails. Plus – they’re nutritious so you get a sweet, healthy snack in too.
