New Specialty Freeze-Dried Citrus Garnish

CITREVE is a Utah-based company that provides freeze-dried solutions to pain points in the food and beverage industry by producing specialty freeze-dried garnishes. Through freeze-drying technology and professional chef insight, CITREVE has created shelf-stable citrus with the intention of reducing labor costs, saving time, and eliminating waste. Founder Chef Nettie Frank has over 20 years of experience as a professional chef and is using her knowledge of the industry to tackle citrus waste and create a better garnish that does more for your beverage.

CITREVE has recently welcomed a new item to its menu of freeze-dried fare. Made with luxury cocktails in mind, the Lemon Slices with Sugar + Mint are designed to catch the eye with their vibrant color and elevate the beverage with their bold flavor.

The new Lemon Slices with Sugar + Mint are freeze-dried at peak ripeness and maintain all the flavor, color, and nutrients of the original lemon. The slices are handcrafted, carefully sprinkled with sugar and freshly chopped mint leaves before the three-day preservation process.

These freeze-dried slices are a beautiful garnish as well as an ingredient. The freeze-dried citrus can reconstitute in liquid, which means it’s able to absorb whatever liquid it’s placed in and will infuse your beverage with flavor. The Lemon Slices with Sugar + Mint from CITREVE provide notes of zesty, aromatic lemon, elevated by cool mint, and finish with a subtle sweetness. This garnish would make an incredible addition to any citrus-forward cocktail.

With alcohol consumption on the decline, bars and restaurants are expanding their menus to include more mocktails and specialty non-alcoholic drinks, but the question arises: “How can we justify a price point that’s comparable to an alcoholic drink when there’s no alcohol?” CITREVE’S specialty garnishes are a cost-effective way to add value to your non-alcoholic beverages, providing an experience for your customer that is still special, elevated, and memorable.

CITREVE provides innovative solutions for the hospitality industry, cutting down on waste and labor in favor of ready-to-use, shelf-stable citrus. Their specialty freeze-dried fare goes beyond preservation; their products are designed for professionals and crafted with care.
