Fruit refers to a wide range of fresh, sweet, and juicy produce that can be used in cocktails to add natural sweetness, flavor, and visual appeal. In the context of alcohol and cocktails, fruit can be used in many forms, including fresh slices, purees, juices, and garnishes. Popular fruits for cocktails include oranges, lemons, limes, strawberries, and berries. They pair well with virtually any spirit and are essential in cocktails such as the Mojito, Margarita, Piña Colada, and Sangria. Fruits add brightness, complexity, and a refreshing element to drinks, making them a versatile and vital component in mixology.

Honestly, you can make almost any cocktail better by adding some sort of fruit garnish and we always recommend keeping some on-hand, as well as some garnish swords.
