Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für eine optimale Präsentation empfehlen wir, die Früchte in getrennten, farbenfrohen Clustern zu arrangieren und die Zitrusscheiben leicht fächerförmig auszulegen, um einen lebendigen Look zu erzielen. Achten Sie darauf, alle Zutaten gut zu trocknen, damit keine Flüssigkeit die Garnituren verwässert. Kleine Schalen oder Ramekins eignen sich hervorragend, um Süßigkeiten und Zuckerwürfel ordentlich zu platzieren und die Bedienung zu erleichtern.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Um dem Bubbly Bar Garnish Platter eine persönliche Note zu geben, tauschen Sie beliebige Früchte aus oder ergänzen Sie sie mit weiteren wie Blaubeeren, Ananas oder Sternfrucht. Für einen festlichen Kick eignen sich Rosmarinzweige als aromatische Garnitur. Wenn Sie eine vegane Variante wünschen, achten Sie bitte darauf, dass Zuckerwürfel und Glitzer vegan zertifiziert sind.
