Citrus Fruit Gift Baskets are Great for Holiday Parties

Citrus fruit gift baskets are the perfect choice for holiday parties. During the holidays it is easy to get swept up in making traditional cookies, cakes, and other super sweet desserts for parties. But sugary desserts combined with sweet, hot traditional holiday drinks can be overwhelming for many people. For people who cannot have rich, sugar laden desserts or prefer not to eat them it is very important to have alternative desserts, snacks and other foods at holiday parties. Fresh citrus fruits are a delicious winter treat that anyone can eat. They have a light, refreshing taste that will provide a nice contrast to the other rich holiday treats at the party.

Citrus fruit gift baskets and fruit arrangements are also a practical thing to have around during the holidays. Cooking with fresh citrus juices instead of water adds a lot of great flavor to holiday meals. Bright orange segments added to salads and sweet Florida orange juice used in sauces and dressings add gourmet touches to traditional holiday meals. Candied citrus fruit peels are wonderful garnishes for holiday cookie plates, cakes, and beverages. Exotic citrus fruits like Honeybell Tangelos or Clementine oranges are also wonderful party favors when topped with a bright holiday bow. You can even add a personal stamp or sticker to the peel thanking your guests for attending your holiday party.

You cannot have too much fresh citrus juice to stock a holiday bar either. For cocktails, mixed drinks, or for people who are not drinking alcohol to drink having fresh citrus fruit at a holiday party is a must. If you want to really spice up some of your holiday drinks try using exotic citrus fruit juice like Blood Orange juice to add color and tang to cocktails or use super sweet Honeybell juice to balance out a tart drink. Or try substituting Florida grapefruit juice for orange juice in a cocktail to add a little bit of a tart taste to the drink.

Buying citrus fruit gift baskets and festive holiday citrus fruit arrangements gives you premium citrus fruit that you and your guests can enjoy already packaged for the holidays. Instead of rushing around trying to find the perfect serving bowls and presentation platters just order a few fresh citrus fruit arrangements and citrus baskets for your holiday parties this year. That way you can relax and enjoy the party as much as your guests will.
