The fruits of summer glow with colors of yellow and ruby red. Luscious Raspberries and delicious pineapple play on the tongue showering the palate with beautiful sweet and tart flavors. June is peak season, so prepare now for mouthwatering cocktails you and your guests will simply love.
We are accustomed to seeing raspberries in the striking color of red, but have you caught a glimpse of the golden raspberries yet? Ironically they taste so similar you would never know the difference. But what does make a difference is how they can change a cocktail’s color balance. Rather than girlie pinkish red, a cocktail can take on a whole new hue. Go for a seasonal change by mixing up your fruits a little with the summer season.
Pineapples bring on all sorts of tempting libation concoctions. The catch I often find with this fruit is the acidic balance is often out of whack for myself and others. That is the beauty of SKYY Infusions! You don’t have to give up the fresh fruit of the season with SKYY Infusions Pineapple. Use fresh pineapple in limited quantity or as garnish and let SKYY Infusions Pineapple do the heavy lifting for you. It’s a great way to have the best of both worlds. Incorporating a little fresh fruit into your cocktail is a handy way of including a splash of summer into all things refreshing!SKYY Vodka put together several recipes which include the fresh fruits of the season and SKYY Infusions so you can enjoy a taste of the season all summer long.
