Get In On a Bartender’s Secret
Ever notice how you can order just about any fruity drink at any time, whether the fruit is in season or not? No? Maybe it’s just me and my fondness for the frou-frou cocktail drinks. If you were wondering how the bartenders do it, I’ll let you in on one of their little secrets … Perfect Purees of Napa Valley
Normally available to just chefs and bartenders, these are frozen mixtures that not only save you a bit of time, they let you enjoy some of your favorite fruits when they’re out of season … perfect for cocktails when the craving hits.
Flavors include Pomegranate, Key Lime, Blood Orange, Peach and more. They retail for $22.50 for a 30 oz jar of frozen concentrate and will last you through many, many parties. Of course, they’re not going to be as good as the real thing, but will be a nice alternative when the real thing is out of season.
