A Twist on Tropical: Essential Oil Infused Fruit Cocktail Recipes
Fruit cocktails—or fruit salads, as some prefer—are a versatile dessert staple. Whether you enjoy them on their own, mixed with pudding, or as a topping for ice cream, they’re a crowd-pleaser. But what if you could take your fruit cocktail from ordinary to extraordinary? We’re here to show you how!
We’re experimenting with essential oils from Dr. Hermann’s Essentials to add a unique and unexpected flavor boost to canned tropical fruit cocktail. This might seem a bit unconventional, but trust us—the results are delicious!
Essential Oil Infusion:
We’ve selected six essential oils that pair beautifully with tropical fruits:
- Basil: Adds a fresh, herbaceous note.
- Sage: Brings an earthy, savory depth.
- Immortelle: Offers a unique, slightly sweet aroma.
- Rosemary: Provides a piney, invigorating flavor.
- Lavender: Introduces a floral, calming sweetness.
- Citrus Oil Mix: Enhances the natural citrus notes of the fruit.
Recipe:
- Prepare: Start with 100g (3.5oz) of your favorite canned tropical fruit cocktail.
- Infuse: Add 1-2 squirts of your chosen essential oil to the fruit. For a stronger flavor, use 2-4 squirts.
- Mix: Thoroughly combine the fruit and essential oil.
- Chill: Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Enjoy your enhanced fruit cocktail!
- note. If preparing larger quantities, multiply the fruit and essential oil amounts.
Our Favorites:
We found that the sage, immortelle, lavender, and citrus oil mix created particularly delightful flavor combinations. Don’t be afraid to experiment and discover your own favorite blends!
We encourage you to be bold and open-minded—you might be surprised by how well these essential oils complement tropical fruits.
