These Dried Citrus Cocktail Garnishes instantly make any drink look polished and a little fancy, and they add a subtle citrusy aroma without watering things down like fresh slices can.
Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. You might need 2 to accommodate all the slices.
Lay the citrus slices flat on a baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.
Dry them in the oven for about 2 to 3 hours, flipping halfway through. They should be dry but still vibrant in color.
You can also use a dehydrator or air fryer with a dehydrate mode to dry the citrus.
Once dried, store them in an airtight container or ziptop bag.
