Revamp Your Cocktail Game: How to Reinvent Classic Cocktails with Fruits

Fruits, in addition to being ideal for making juices and desserts, are an excellent resource for recreating the most delicious and fun cocktails you can imagine. A delicious and refreshing option to enjoy on any occasion. Whether it's a get-together with friends, a special celebration, or just to relax at home.

That's why today we bring you several suggestions to prepare the most traditional cocktails, using diverse and delicious fruits:

Daiquiri: The classic Daiquiri is also the favorite of the American writer and journalist, Ernest Hemingway. This cocktail is prepared with 9 parts of rum, 4 of lemon juice, and 1 of sugar. Anyway, if you to give more life, color, and flavor to your writing you should add fresh strawberries and bananas to the preparation. Do not forget the secret little touch of coconut milk!

Sangria: The traditional sangria is made with red wine, but we can try a white wine version. Green apple juice and mint leaves will be perfect for this variant.

Mojito: Originally from Cuba, the Mojito, in its traditional preparation, is made with lemon; but any acid fruit mixed with white rum would taste exquisite. How about trying it with passion fruit or with lulo?

Gin tonic: Gin Tonic is one of the simplest cocktails. Due to its preparation, few ingredients are needed, including just a touch of lemon. Even though, today we want to invite you to dare and add to this simple preparation a touch of watermelon juice, which will remove the dry flavor of the Gin and sweeten it a little bit more.

Pisco Sour: Pisco is a traditional drink of Peru but is recognized in different countries of South America. For its preparation, the Pisco is mixed with lemon juice and an egg white. Adding a measure of mango juice (of any of the two sweet types: Sugar or Tommy) we will achieve the most Colombian version of this drink.

These cocktails are perfect for delighting your guests with a menu that includes traditional Colombian fruits in all their versions. Don't forget that all these fruits with which you can innovate classic cocktails can be found in Paloquemao Market or any of the 19 local markets in Bogota! In this way, we can contribute to the diversity and gastronomic tourism of our country. Remember that you can customize these cocktails according to your preferences and the ingredients you have on hand, always thinking that diversity makes everything tastier. We hope you enjoy these delicious options!
