Fruits are produced by flowering plants and are the mature ovary of a flower, usually containing seeds. They can be cultivated in various climates and are harvested at different times of the year depending on the species.
History
The use of fruits in beverages dates back to ancient civilizations, where they were used for their flavor and health benefits. Over time, the art of mixing fruits with spirits evolved, leading to the creation of many classic cocktails that we enjoy today.
In cocktails
Bartenders often use fruits to enhance the flavor profile of cocktails. Fresh fruits can be muddled, sliced, or used as garnishes, while juices and purees can be mixed directly into drinks. Seasonal fruits are particularly popular for their freshness and unique flavors.
