WHO/WHAT:
Sample exciting new cocktails from influential bartenders when The Perfect Purée of Napa Valley brings its newest flavors, Camu Camu and Soursop, plus its new line of Tastecraft Freeze-Dried Fruit to BCB Brooklyn.
Meet Tassia Lacerda, Washington, D.C., brand ambassador for The Perfect Purée, expert on Season 9 of Bravo’s reality series “Bar Rescue,” and owner of Crème de la Crème Bartenders. Start a conversation with Erin Gabriella, bar director of Thyme Bar NYC, or The Perfect Purée Atlanta Brand Ambassador De’Qustay Johnson, veteran mixologist, owner of DeQustayJ Cocktails Inc. and a 2024 Chilled 100 Spirits Awards judge.
As the bar and beverage industry’s premier trade-only education and tasting event, BCB Brooklyn positions exhibitors and attendees to be the trend setters of tomorrow. The Perfect Purée of Napa Valley released Camu Camu and Soursop earlier this year in response to demand for global flavors.
Camu Camu is a tart red berry from the Amazon rainforest with exceptionally high Vitamin C content and powerful antioxidant properties. Soursop, also called graviola or guanabana, is a sweet, tangy tropical fruit high in fiber and Vitamin C. Both flavors give bar professionals the novel true-to-fruit flavors they’re seeking for global cocktail themes and wellness appeal.
Tastecraft is The Perfect Purée’s new line of freeze-dried fruits that offer the flavor, shape and nutritional value of just-picked fruit with the convenience of shelf stability. Tastecraft comes in seven fruits: Dragon Fruit Crumble, Strawberry Slices, Pineapple Pieces, Whole Raspberries, Lime Slices, Orange Slices, and Lemon Slices. All fruits are vegan and produced with non-GMO fruit.
