I recently shot photos at The Tropical Fruit Drinks Contest hosted by the Tropical Fruit Growers of South Florida. 18 gourmet restaurant/bars in Miami-Dade and Broward county competed to create the best tropical fruit drink for this inaugural contest. The event was a huge success and a great way to promote tropical fruit in this industry. Below are a few pictures of the winning drinks. Download the recipes by clicking the link above the pictures. The 2004 mango season at the Tropical Research and Eduaction Center is almost a memory with only one block of huge ‘Keitt’ mangos still available. I have improved my image library with more refined pictures of this summer’s tropical fruit crops and I look forward to posting them in the coming months.
