Sweet Meets Heat: Try The Perfect Purée’s Newest Flavor at Winter Fancy Food Show

— Visit Booth #2205 at the Winter Fancy Food Show for cocktails with Sweet Ginger and signature blends PLUS cans of Droplet’s White Peach adaptogen beverage —

Napa, California (Jan. 10, 2024) —  The Perfect Purée of Napa Valley will put its newest flavor, Sweet Ginger, center stage for the 2024 Winter Fancy Food Show, Jan. 21-23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. As the leading U.S. producer of premium fresh purées for culinary and beverage professionals with over 35 years in the specialty food industry, The Perfect Purée exemplifies the show’s theme of ‘artisan products, global flavors.’

Sweet Ginger is a reimagined version of The Perfect Purée’s classic Sweet Ginger. Now more flavorful than ever with a pourable consistency, it’s ideal in cocktails, confections, and savory creations. Sweet Ginger will be featured in the New Products Showcase at the show and you can try it in a “Ginger Vodka Collins” cocktail on Sunday at The Perfect Purée’s Booth #2205.

The Perfect Purée’s in-booth bar will feature craft cocktails shaken to order by professional bartenders on Sunday and Monday. Tuesday, pick up a can of Droplet’s Pretty Balanced, a functional beverage featuring The Perfect Purée White Peach. Crafted to help the body manage stress, Balanced contains adaptogens ashwagandha for stress relief; lemon verbena for recovery; and moringa for phytonutrients.

Droplet co-founder & CEO Celeste Perez says White Peach adds elegance and more to Pretty Balanced. “When we were formulating Droplet, we wanted to make ingredient choices that reflected flavor, quality, and health. We chose fruit purées over pre-blended flavors and syrups to create an elegant experience, signaling craft, creativity, and curation. Real fruit gives Droplet a unique mouthfeel, one that truly makes us stand out on the palate and on shelf. Perfect Purée of Napa Valley helped make the beverage of our dreams a reality, and we’re excited to support this partnership with samples of Droplet at Fancy Food Show.” Celeste says.

Now in its 36th year, The Perfect Purée continues to ensure customers consistent, high-quality pantry staples such as Cherry, Strawberry, and Red Raspberry. It also responds to evolving tastes with innovative blends including Chipotle Sour, Yuzu Luxe Sour and Thai Basil & Black Pepper — all featured in cocktails at the show. With Sweet Ginger, The Perfect Purée offers its enduringly popular flavor in a more versatile consistency across menu parts and cuisines.
