Product information, allergens and ingredients

  • Yes — all Mixso garnishes are made from food‑safe, edible ingredients and packaged in a food‑safe packaging.

  • Many manufacturers use high heat to dry fruit quickly. We use a slow, low-temperature dehydration process to ensure the colour stays vibrant. Because it is a natural product, the fruit will continue to change over time. While some companies have a shelf life at one year, the garnishes will become visibly darker at the 6-month mark. The glittery fruits will stay colourful longer.

  • No. Our shimmers are ultra-fine, completely tasteless, and textureless. They are designed to suspend cleanly in the liquid, providing a striking visual effect without leaving a gritty residue or altering the mouthfeel of your cocktail.

  • Fruit garnishes are edible and vegan. Each product page lists full ingredients and allergen warnings — please check before ordering. If you have severe allergies, contact us before purchase.

  • No. Our dehydration process removes the optimal amount of moisture to ensure a crisp snap. This guarantees every slice separates easily, sits perfectly on a glass, and maintains a long shelf life without becoming tacky or chewy. All natural garnishes need to be stored in airtight packaging.

    • Non‑glitter garnishes: best used within 6 months; fruits may darken over time.
    • Glittered garnishes: best within 6 months, but usable up to 12 months; colour may deepen slightly without affecting safety or overall appearance.
  • The garnishes are edible, but for optimal garnishing, we use firm, less ripe fruit. High sugar levels in overripe fruit result in a sticky end product. By selecting firmer fruit, we ensure the slices remain crisp and separate easily. As a result, the natural flavour of the garnish will be slightly more sour than sweet.

  • To ensure a premium look in your glass, all fruit garnishes are exclusively centre-cut for perfect visual symmetry. They are prepared using a slicer to maintain a consistent 1-2mm thickness. The only exception is our chillies, which are individually sliced by hand.
