explore Wine & Dine Taste, Savor, enjoy The Essential Taste of Summer Cocktails enlivened by fresh fruit are in a class by themselves. By nick Passmore This is the time when fruit abounds — melons, peaches, raspberries, and straw­ berries are all in season, and the current cocktail renaissance is using them in most inventive and delicious ways. These “new” recipes hark back to the golden age of the cocktail, the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when a bartender’s only option was to use fresh ingredients. Then along came canned fruit and all kinds of artificial flavorings, and cock­ tails lost their pizzazz. Now mixologists are returning to the authen­ ticity of fresh ingredients, and the difference is amazing. As Tiffany Dawn Soto, beverage man­ ager of Wit & Wisdom at the Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore, points out, “There really cannot be any substitute for the use of fresh fruits in a cocktail. Creating the perfect cocktail requires balancing the amount of liquor, dilution, and complementary acidity. Fresh fruits help effectively create that balance with their juicy flavor components, vibrant acidity, and natural sweetness — a taste no concen­ trated flavor can help.” Fresh fruit is good in a cocktail year­round but is particularly suited to summer when that balance of seductive sweetness and tangy acidity is espe­ cially successful. So sit beside the pool and sip one of these magical concoctions. ★ The Best Bellini Ever Adapted from a recipe by cocktail guru Jonathan Pogash 1/2 ripe peach, peeled 2 tsp. sugar juice of 1/2 lemon 2 oz.
