Multiple Choice

Which item is commonly used as a garnish to provide aroma and color?

Garnishes that add aroma and color come from items rich in fragrant oils and that also catch the eye. A citrus twist fits this well because the peel carries essential oils in its rind, which are released when you twist or express it over the drink. That release fills the air with bright citrus scent and adds a pop of color to the glass, enhancing both aroma and visual appeal. The other options don’t provide that combination: an ice cube cools the drink but doesn’t contribute aroma; a chocolate chip is not a typical drink garnish for aroma or color; a salt rim changes flavor and appearance but isn’t aimed at aroma.
