    What are Fruity Drinks?

    Fruity drinks are any type of drink that includes fruit as a primary ingredient. These drinks can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic and can be served cold or hot. Examples of fruity drinks include cordials, liqueurs, smoothies, cocktails, mocktails, juices and fruit-infused water.

    How are Fruity Drinks Made?

    The process of making fruity drinks can vary depending on the specific type of drink. However, most fruity drinks require some combination of fruit, liquid, and sugar. Here are a few examples of how different types of fruity drinks are made:

    Cordials – Cordials are made by fruit being boiled in a sugary syrup; this is then left to infuse for some time to get the most flavour from the primary ingredient. Then, the cordial is strained into sterilised containers to remove pulp and debris from the fruit, for a smooth consistency.

    Liqueurs – There are a variety of ways to make fruity liqueurs. Oftentimes, the chosen fruit is cooked down somewhat to soften it up, and let the flavours enthuse easier later. The fruit is then blended into a puree and the liqueur is added, whether that is vodka, gin or rum. After a chosen amount of time, at least a few weeks, but sometimes like our Sloe Gin, the fruit enthuses for over a year. The infusion is then drained, leaving a wonderfully fruity alcohol drink.

    Smoothies - Smoothies are made by blending fresh or frozen fruit with liquid (such as milk or yogurt) and sweetener (such as honey or sugar). Smoothies can be customized with a variety of fruits and flavourings to suit your taste preferences.

    Cocktails - Cocktails are made by combining alcohol (such as vodka or rum) with fruit juice, syrup, or puree. Some cocktails also include soda, tonic water, or other mixers. Cocktails are typically served over ice and garnished with fruit. At Demijohn we have a vast selection of Fruity Cocktail Recipes, such as our warming Fruity Highlander or fantastic Morello Fizz that are fun to try and easy to follow.

    Mocktails - Mocktails are non-alcoholic cocktails that use the same basic ingredients as cocktails but omit the alcohol. Mocktails can be made with a variety of fruit juices, syrups, and purees to create a refreshing and flavourful drink.

    Juices - Juices are made by extracting the liquid from fruits using a juicer or blender. Juices can be enjoyed on their own or used as a base for other drinks, such as smoothies or cocktails.

    Fruit-infused water - Fruit-infused water is made by adding sliced fruit, herbs, or spices to a pitcher of water and letting it sit for several hours or overnight. This allows the flavours of the fruit to infuse into the water, creating a refreshing and hydrating drink.

    How are Fruity Drinks Best Enjoyed?

    Fruity drinks are best enjoyed when they are served cold, on a hot day, or when you are in need of a refreshing pick-me-up. Here are a few tips on how to enjoy fruity drinks:

    Choose the right glass - Fruity drinks are often served in tall glasses or tumblers with plenty of ice. This not only looks stylish but also helps keep the drink cold.

    Garnish with fruit - Adding a slice of fruit to the rim of your glass or floating it in your drink can add an extra burst of flavour and make your drink look even more enticing.

    Experiment with flavours - Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits, juices, and sweeteners to create your own unique drink. The possibilities are endless!

    Pair with food - Fruity drinks can be paired with a variety of foods, from light salads to hearty dishes. Experiment with different flavour combinations to find the perfect pairing for your meal.

    In conclusion, whether you are looking for a refreshing drink to cool you down on a hot day or a flavourful cocktail to enjoy with friends, fruity drinks are the perfect choice. With so many different types of fruity drinks to choose from, the possibilities are endless. So go ahead and get creative with your ingredients, garnishes, and flavour combinations, and discover your new favourite fruity drink.
