For a party cocktail
Have a blast in preparing your party cocktails by adding canned fruit cocktails with different kinds of beverage. And you can even add the sweet syrup to make your concoction sweeter to the taste. It's also a good idea to prepare a kiddie cocktail version just by adding ice and fruit juice to the fruit mix.

As food toppings
Add color and flavor to an ordinary waffle, pancake, or toast by placing fruits as toppings. You can also combine the fruit syrup with the pancake maple syrup to make it into some sort of sweet and tangy creation.

As a bread extender
If you're into making bread like loaves and muffins, you can use fruit cocktails as additives instead of the usual dried raisins. You can be more creative by placing the fruits in a pattern on the dough.

If you're planning a cocktail party then it's a good idea to prepare small appetizers so that the guests will not be encumbered with a plate on their hand while mingling around. For a simple one-bite appetizer, all you need is a long toothpick to skewer a piece of cold cut, cheese and your fruit in this order.
