Founders Story From Passion to Scale: The Story of Garnish ME

We’re Manisha de Alwis and Harini Gunasekera, co-founders of Garnish ME, a brand born from our passion for cocktails and a vision to transform how they are experienced. Manisha is the Chief Growth Officer, while Harini focuses on ESG aspects of the organization.

We believe cocktails should be more than just drinks; they should be an elevated experience, a moment of indulgence. Inhouse garnishes were costly, perishable, and inconsistent.

As the cocktail culture picked up, we saw a gap for purpose-made premium garnishes. The hospitality industry faces this challenges often, relying on fresh garnishes that often led to waste food and operational inefficiencies.

What began as a passion project quickly gained momentum, evolving into a trusted USA trademark registered brand in the F&B space both locally & internationally. Today, we supply some of the world’s most recognized companies, including Forbes 500-featured Twisted Alchemy, helping them private label their dried citrus garnish range. We cater to Mastro's Restaurant Chain in the USA & in Sri Lanka, we proudly cater to Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, the country’s largest hotel chain. Our garnishes have even made their mark on Below Deck, one of the most streamed reality shows in the USA.

We’re reshaping the garnish industry by prioritizing sustainability, consistency, and quality. Over the past three years, we’ve backward-integrated our supply chain, sourcing directly from local farmers and ensuring fair pricing. Today, we operate out of an ISO-certified fruit only processing facility, setting new benchmarks for premium dried garnishes.

Now, we’re scaling globally—expanding into new markets, collaborating with premium brands, and driving continuous innovation. Garnish ME is more than just aesthetics. It’s about sustainability, efficiency, and elevating every cocktail experience.

And this is just the beginning.

Elevating Every Pour, One Garnish at a Time

We're on a mission to eliminate waste and save time in the hospitality industry — one perfectly dried garnish at a time. At GarnishME, we believe that the finishing touch on a cocktail shouldn't come at the cost of hours of prep, pounds of wasted fruit, or compromises on quality.

We craft premium dried cocktail garnishes & cold press Juices that deliver the aroma, color, and elegance of fresh fruit — with a shelf life of 12+ months and zero refrigeration required. Whether you're running a Michelin-starred bar program or a boutique hotel lounge, GarnishME gives your team the consistency and convenience to focus on what matters most: the guest experience.

Our Story

GarnishMEwas born out of a simple frustration familiar to anyone who has worked behind a bar: the relentless cycle of slicing, prepping, and throwing away fresh garnishes that never quite made it to a glass. Pounds of citrus wasted. Hours of prep time lost. Inconsistent cuts from shift to shift.

We set out to solve this problem — not with shortcuts, but with craft. Through careful dehydration techniques developed to preserve the natural oils, color, and beauty of fresh fruit, we created a garnish that looks stunning, smells incredible, and lasts over a year on the shelf. No preservatives. No compromise. Just a better way to garnish.

Today, GarnishME is trusted by over 2,000 professional venues worldwide — from independent cocktail bars to some of the most recognized names in global hospitality.
