Instructions

Step 1

Put a few small pieces of fruit into the bottom of the drink using the cocktail toothpick. Make sure not to overdo it. This only works if it is a sweet cocktail; for sour cocktails, use olives instead of fruit.
Step 2

Cut the rind off a lemon or lime and place it on the side of the glass. A mint sprig also looks lovely, as does a thin slice of pineapple.
Step 3

Add a cute, colorful straw or umbrella and enjoy!
