Angostura Bitters: Clovey, orangey drops of goodness.
Cinnamon Stick
Citrus Twists

Ginger, sliced thin and vertically as a stirrer.
Maraschino Cherries: Now available in a variety of colors and flavors.

Olives (black and green), preferably pimiento-stuffed.
Peychaud’s Bitters: Reminiscent of cherry cough syrup.
Powdered Sugar: Many like it atop mint juleps and daiquiris.
