Are you hosting a cozy barbecue soon or looking for a refreshing snack in these hot temperatures? Then we have the ideal dessert for you: a Mojito fruit salad!
A fruit salad is a top snack during the summer months. It is refreshing, tasty and quick to prepare. Ideal for at home, but also for the terrace of your catering establishment! You can make it more special with the addition of Mojito. The citrus flavor and sweetness of cane sugar go perfectly with a fruit salad. This seasonal addition to your snack offerings is guaranteed to please your customers. We're sharing a simple recipe with you!
Optional
Exactly how much you need of each ingredient depends, of course, on the popularity of the snack and the size of the portion you offer! Are you selling a lot of them? Then you'd better stock up on apples, pineapples, melons and Craftails Mojito.
Want to test first whether this snack is popular with your customers? Then start with a small stock that if it doesn't catch on (which it won't), you can use in other ways. This first smaller batch will sell out quickly, so customers who arrive just too late will feel like they missed out on something. That FOMO (fear of missing out for those not familiar with the term) is guaranteed to make them return one more time to still sample that new snack that looked so delightfully refreshing and delicious from afar.
Do you have all the supplies? Top! Although the name makes it sound more special, this fruit salad is prepared as simply as any other. Of course, you can make it as simple or complicated as you like. Let's get started.
The next step is optional: garnish. How. That's entirely up to you. Or you can read below how we would do it.
The different shapes of fruit (balls, cubes and slices) looks fun and diverse in the bowl. This makes for an interesting fruit salad. The eye wants something, too! Don't have that much time? Then you can always make the fruit salads a day in advance and keep them in the cooler. Or you can simply go for the quickest way of cutting: cubes. Just make sure you choose an option you can consistently stick to. Once people have seen balls of melon, they will expect the same the next time.
Once you have chosen how you want to cut your fruit, let's move on to presentation. For this you will need a nice bowl the size of the portion you want to offer and any garnishes.
How you present your fruit salad is entirely up to you! We give you some tips and inspiration.
When it comes to presentation and the name alone, this fruit salad sells itself. Still, it is recommended that you advertise your new addition. That goes for every new addition you make to your drink menu, by the way. Of course, people need to know it's there before they can order it. We'll give you some tips on how to do that right.
Prepare your finest fruit salad ever and hold a photo shoot with it. The new, exclusive star of your drink menu deserves nothing less. Share the best photos on all your social media channels. Make it extra sexy and enticing with a good description and possibly already include the price. That way, people will know exactly what they should go to your establishment for.
Make sure that passersby also see it on your patio and thus are lured inside. You can do this with a chalkboard with a nice drawing or a printed flyer. Or, of course the best option, by having a lot of customers on the terrace already enjoying the delicious fruit salad.
You can offer the fruit salad separately, but you can also create a fun combo. For example, customers can then order the salad in combination with a Mojito. For this, you then make a special price that is just a little more advantageous. That makes it more attractive for the customers. Just make sure that with this combo price you can still get out of your costs and make a profit. Of course, we don't want you to have done this exclusive addition for nothing.
