A wide variety of fillings are used cocktail. Many of rum-based cocktails, especially those with fruit flavors tend to be decorated with tropical themed toppings or fruit slices. Tequila-based drinks for limes and other citrus. Gin and vodka-based drinks tend to trim with a touch more worthy (olives, onions, or perhaps a touch of citrus or a single maraschino cherry), unless they are variations of a drink fruity rum based. Whiskey and brandy-based drinks tend towards a garnishment minimum, if any. restaurant chains and hotel bars tend to use more and more ostentatious trimmings and neighborhood bars tend to go the other extreme.
