Sip On Fermented Cocktails on Franchettis’ Patio - October 20, 2020
3 Fermented Cocktails to Enjoy on The Patio at Franchettis’
When you imagine a fermented drink you may immediately think of certain beverages you see at any health food store. But bartenders and mixologists all over the world have been adding fermented cocktails to their menus for years.
At Franchettis’ Restaurant and Bar, we celebrate nuanced flavors and strive to provide a unique culinary experience that you won’t soon forget!
What Is a Fermented Cocktail?
Any alcohol that your drink is produced by fermentation. This is a simple and natural process where yeast converts sugars into alcohol. This is the only way to turn plant-based materials into alcohol that is safe for people to consume. Fermented cocktails are easier for your body to process and even encourage a healthy digestive process.
Although all alcohol is produced from fermentation, you can further purify and amplify their alcoholic content via the distillation process. Distilled spirits tend to have harsher effects on your palette and your body.
