The Fruits of Fall Cocktails
With the flavors of fall around the corner, Bars On Wheels compiled a list of fruits for fall cocktails to look forward to!
Apples
With so many varieties to choose from, we definitely think the dentist-friendly apple is under rated. Make a spiced cider with the Gala variety or a bright Margarita with a Granny Smith or Golden Delicious.
Pumpkins
Fall cocktails regularly highlight the pumpkins versatility behind the bar and deservedly so. Scoop out the good stuff, then roast and push through a fine sieve for a smooth puree, next eat the salted seeds for a snack while you get to carving! Yes this is technically not a fruit, but anyways…
Persimmons
One of our favorite fall fruits that often gets forgotten about, Persimmons are akin to the tomato of fall, yet with more sweetness. How about a Persimmon Bloody Mary?!?
Pears
Mmmm, poached pears in brown butter have us salivating. We say juice them for a healthier alternative mixer for a juniper-forward Gin like Tanqueray, the beginning of a round of perfect fall cocktails.
Cranberries
When fresh, these acidic berries can be muddled much like a lime for a creative twist on a mojito or mint julep.
Pomegranates
With an antioxidant level that is off the charts, Pomegranate juice is a favorite of the health-conscious, and therefore an even better reason to add it to your pre-party Champagne Cocktail.
Stay tuned for recipes…and, as always, drink responsibly!
Cheers,
