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.
