Lime Or Citrus Zester Garnish Tool
A good lime zester is designed with tiny, sharp rounds that remove just the right amount of zest without cutting too deep, allowing you to create clean, sharp lines. This makes it perfect for creating beautiful and easy wedge cocktail garnish designs. From my experience, I’ve learned that not all zesters are the same quality and good. Some are so dull, even when brand new, that they leave you with uneven lines, ruining the effect. So, make sure you buy a quality zester for the best results for making designs on cocktail garnishes.
Here are the features to look for in a good-quality citrus zester:
- Handle: Should have a secure and comfortable grip. Avoid a wooden handle because they are slippery.
- Loop Blades Sharpness: Loops sharp enough to remove zest without too much pressure.
- Zest Ribbon Quality: The zest are tiny ribbon-like strips with nice straight edges.
- Channel knife feature: Some zesters, have additional features. I have a channel knife on my both zesters. We can create ribbon zest for garnish or make decor on zest with this channel knife.
With a good quality zester, you always have beautiful zest ribbons and designs on lime or other citruses.
