From Market to Glass: Fresh, Seasonal Ingredients Create Summer’s Perfect Cocktails

From Market to Glass: Fresh, Seasonal Ingredients Create Summer’s Perfect Cocktails

From coast to coast, bartenders this summer are following a culinary trend, in designing cocktail menus that feature fresh ingredients purchased at their nearby local farmers’ markets. Mixologists are infusing and juicing local produce and fruits to create unique summer cocktails while showcasing the tastiest regional farm ingredients.

Summer is the ideal time to experiment at home and create garden fresh
mixers. Herbs such as basil and mint are at their peak during the summer
months as well and can be incorporated into sophisticated seasonal classics
or inventive summer cocktail creations. Ingredients such as berries, stone
fruits and melons are ripest in July and August, while tomatoes are best in
August and September.
