Cut a thin slice of lemon peel, using a vegetable cutter. 

Put the cut zest on top of the drink.

As a garnish for cocktails, you can use any kind of citrus fruits: orange, grapefruit, lime.

Blackberry and rosemary sprig

This is a combination that will give your drink freshness and forest notes.

You can string blackberries on rosemary and stick the sprig into your smoothie.

The decoration will look unusual and elegant.

Instead of blackberries, you can use strawberries or raspberries.

Mint and lime

This is a classic pairing for summer lemonades and smoothies.

Mint and lime not only add flavor and aroma, but also decorate the drink.
