Here are five creative ways to garnish your Brutal Fruit spritzer and impress your guests when entertaining at home.

1. Gold Leaf + Spun Sugar Garnish

This one requires a bit of elbow grease, but the boujee, blingy payoff is so worth it!

How to Make Spun Sugar

1. Prepare the area by placing a clean rolling pin or wooden spoon on your kitchen counter so that it hangs halfway over the edge. Place some newspaper or a bin bag below on the floor. Things are about to get messy!

2. Combine and stir 100g of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a saucepan over low heat until dissolved. Increase heat to medium and cook, without disturbing, until the caramel reaches a very light amber colour. Watch the pot carefully as this will happen quickly! Remove the caramel from heat immediately.

3. Allow the caramel to cool just until very, very thin wispy strands form when drizzled with a fork. Dip your fork repeatedly into the sugar mixture and whip the strands of sugar back and forth quickly across the rolling pin to form long, hanging strands of sugar. Repeat until you have accumulated enough sugar to pick up with your hands.

4. While it is still pliable, grab the two ends of the sugar and bring them together forming a fluffy, free-form shape. If the caramel hardens too much as you work, place it back over low heat just until it begins to loosen up a bit.

How to Assemble It

Spray one side of each coupe with some water and gently press the gold leaf into the glass. Place a large ice block in your glass. Top with Brutal Fruit and your little nest of spun sugar.

2. Fresh Fruit + Floral Garnish

Can’t decide between a fruity or flowery theme? This one lets you highlight the best of both! The pieces of fruit also add some extra flavour to your Brutal Fruit spritzers while elevating their look.

How to Make Them

1. Purchase a selection of large citrus fruit, ranging from lemon and oranges to grapefruit and blood oranges.

2. Slice the fruit into rounds. Insert any edible flowers or herbs of your choice through the centre of the slice.

3. Add ice into a glass and add Brutal Fruit. Place the citrus round over the rim of the glass and serve.
