How Make Butterfly From Lemon Wedge Garnish For Cocktails

The butterfly is so cute garnish idea from a lemon for a summer theme party! Easy decor for a glass lemonade, a variety of cocktails, mocktails, fruit salads in glass, and much more. Great garnish on the glass to impress your guests and loved ones. I like the technique because the butterfly comes out symmetric and looks nice because we cut out the first shape and divided it into two. Easy to follow directions because I am sharing the technique with step-by-step photos.

4. Cut through on the bottom butterfly.

To make this way cuts I have 2 reasons. First is to hard to cut equally with nice result into the half with one cut. The second reason is we can leave between cuts the skin and when open butterfly like a book, both pieces stay together. It very seldom can be possible with lemon but may work with other citrus fruits.
