Why a Dehydrated Spiced Pear Garnish Works

Pear is already part of the drink, so a dried pear garnish reinforces the flavor while adding an attractive finish. The cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg used in Citrus House's spiced pear slices also complement the ginger and bourbon in the punch.

A dehydrated pear slice is especially convenient when you're serving a group. Fresh pears need to be washed and sliced shortly before service, while a prepared garnish can be added to each drink as it is served.

Tips & Technique

Prepare the punch base ahead of time and keep it chilled until you're ready to serve. This gives the flavors time to come together and reduces preparation during service.

Add the sparkling water shortly before serving so the punch keeps its carbonation.

Avoid adding a large amount of ice directly to the punch if it will sit for an extended period. Instead, keep the punch chilled and pour it over fresh ice in each glass.

Keep the dehydrated pear slices separate from the punch until serving. Citrus House Wholesale Dehydrated Spiced Pear Slices are ready to use, making it easy to garnish each serving consistently while helping maintain the texture of the dried fruit.

For larger gatherings, the spiced pear slices are packaged in four individually sealed 4 oz pouches within each 1 lb unit, so you can open only what you need while keeping the remaining portions sealed.
