I’m a big fan of using seasonal produce on the bar and to be quite honest, I am pretty disappointed by the number of bartenders who don’t seem to understand the benefits of using the best a season has to offer. I recently asked a few bartenders why they don’t go the seasonal route and their answer was pretty straight forward in that they simply did not know what was in season at this particular point in time.
Taking matters into my own hands, I have put together a basic seasonal ingredients page for the month of December (relevant to the Northern Hemisphere) and hope it will be of some use to anyone reading this.
I the little section of this months food for thought, you can see a few upcoming dates with if nothing else could make a sound excuse for a party or two…
