Summer is in full swing, and we're taking advantage of Mother Nature's generosity. Our cocktail list currently features peaches, plums, raspberries, and strawberries, and you can be sure to find some sort of fruit in the daily cocktail. Grapes and figs are looking good, and I think I'm going to pick up a few honeydew melons for tonight's special cocktail. And for everyone who has asked about "that tomato thing" we used to offer, I can almost guarantee that we'll be bringing back Carlos Yturria's "Sungold Zinger". It's a surprising blend of gin, lemon, and (you guessed it) Sungold Zinger tomatoes, and it was featured in GQ Magazine's Top 20 Cocktails feature in 2008. We'll ask him if it's okay, and then get back to you.
If you're curious about what fruits are in season, we recommend the website for The Center for Urban Education About Sustainable Agriculture. Here's a link to send you right to their seasonal fruit chart: http://www.cuesa.org/seasonality/charts/fruit.php
