Question
Hello Rabbi, Blessings - what is the ruling if one said 'Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech HaOlam' intending to bless 'Shehakol' and then remembered that he already blessed 'Shehakol' and does not want his blessing to be in vain, is it permissible to change the blessing to another, such as 'Mezonot', etc.? Thank you very much
Answer
Hello Rabbi
One can continue and say another blessing.

And all the more so if he had wine in his hand and thought it was water, and began intending to say 'Shehakol', but remembered and blessed 'Borei Pri Hagafen', that he fulfills, for even if he finished 'Shehakol', he would have fulfilled.
