Tips for successful fruit vessels

• Stability: Ensure your fruit sits steadily on the serving surface. You can trim the bottom slightly to create a flat base. Be careful not to cut yourself!
• Making the most of the pulp: Don't throw away the scooped-out fruit flesh! Use it to create the mocktail itself or to make a smoothie.
• Garnish: Enhance the visual appeal with mint leaves, citrus zest, or edible flowers.
