As a bartender, I have seen my fair share of drink trends come and go. But there is one ingredient that has stood the test of time: fruit purees.
These delicious concoctions are the perfect addition to any cocktail, adding a burst of natural sweetness and vibrant color.
Fruit purees come in a variety of flavors, from classic options like strawberry and raspberry to more exotic choices like passionfruit and mango.
They can be used to create a wide range of cocktails, from light and refreshing spritzers to bold and complex sippers.
But what makes fruit puree cocktails so special? For starters, they are incredibly versatile. They can be mixed with a variety of spirits, from vodka and gin to rum and tequila.
They can also be paired with other ingredients like herbs, spices, and citrus to create unique flavor combinations.
Another great thing about fruit puree cocktails is that they are relatively easy to make. All you need is a blender or food processor to puree your fruit of choice, and then you can mix it with your favorite spirits and other ingredients.
Plus, they are a great option for those who want to avoid added sugars and artificial flavors.
