About Garniche79
Don't worry, it's not another covid origin story!
Garniche79 is an idea that was born from the desire to lift your home cocktail game. Being cocktail (and mocktail) fans, we have always been passionate about testing the home cocktail boundaries. While there have been a few misses, there have been many hits. But with all of our home creations, there has always been something missing; a ready to use, elevated garnish.
So deep in lockdown number 50, we began dreaming about how to make our own. Before long, Garniche79 was born. Through rigorous testing (and plenty of drinking) we came up with our core range that we are sure you will love.
Our garnishes use the highest quality fruit and are dehydrated at lower temperatures to ensure flavour and appearance is optimised. Each slice of fruit is hand painted with our edible gold lustre and quality checked before we dehydrate.
You may be wondering "but why the 79"? Well, as you may have noticed, we went gold crazy, painting all our garnishes with edible gold lustre. So we saw fit to add the atomic number for gold; 79. One of our favourite things to do after making a cocktail with Garniche79 is to watch the flecks of gold float and dance through our drinks.
We are so excited to welcome you to Garniche79 and to see you lift your home garnish game.

Our Founders
Before going in to business together, Steve and Leo met years ago on the dance floor of a small bar in Melbourne.
Both born and raised in Melbourne they now reside in the inner south with their cat Ninja and dog Teddy.
Leo is an osteopath by trade and has always been an avid cocktail drinker. Steve works as a firefighter in Melbourne but is also a keen artist. So naturally painting their garnishes made sense.
They have always loved entertaining their friends and family, and quite often cocktails are the central theme.
