Description

Spiced Plum Sour uses rye whiskey because its peppery grain character can stand up to ripe plum and warm spice. Plum liqueur and a small amount of plum syrup layer fruit at two intensities while lemon keeps the drink lively.

Cinnamon is used sparingly and egg white smooths the edges. The result should taste like fresh dark fruit with spice behind it, not mulled syrup.

  • 45 ml Rye whiskey
  • 15 ml Plum Liqueur
  • 25 ml lemon juice
  • 8 ml Plum syrup
