"Watermelon is a finicky ingredient for cocktails. The pink flesh doesn't sit well in drinks; the rind is left behind as waste."
"Another cordial from Ramage, this sweetener pairs pineapple skins with basil and sugar. It's an ideal complement to gin- or tequila-based cocktails."
"The cocktail uses the fruit in multiple ways, including an infused tequila and a syrup, but the most unique application incorporates the strawberry tops."
"Oleo saccharum is a technique that coaxes the oils out of peels to make aromatic syrups, enhancing cocktails with additional flavors."
Bars and restaurants are looking to reduce waste, and using fruit scraps offers a solution. Cocktails can include ingredients like watermelon rind cordial, pineapple skin cordial, strawberry top dust, and banana oleo saccharum to cut down on waste. Watermelon rind is used to create a cordial that eliminates undesirable textures, while pineapple skins create a flavorful sweetener. Strawberry tops can be dehydrated and used as a garnish, and oleo saccharum extracts oils from peels to make aromatic syrups for added flavor.
