One Whose Drink Spilled Immediately After Saying the Beracha

One Whose Drink Spilled Immediately After Saying the Beracha
Day: Sunday
Date: January 31, 2016
Parshat: Mishpatim
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 206


Ideally, when making a beracha on food or besamim it should be held in the right hand. If it is cold out one may be lenient and wear gloves. It is not permissible to say a beracha on food if the food is not present. If a person said a beracha on a fruit and before he could take a bite it dropped and became inedible, he says a new beracha if he eats a different fruit in its place. Likewise, if he said shehakol on a drink and it spilled before he had a chance to taste it, he says shehakol again if he takes a new drink. If the drink was in front of him when he said the original beracha and he intended to have some of it, no new beracha is said.
