Ume Sour Twist

Leandro from The Educated Barfly challenged the creation of a unique cocktail using Japanese plum wine liqueur, Umeshu. The cocktail, named "You and Me," features rye whiskey, Nigori Umeshu, fresh lemon juice, housemade cinnamon & plum syrup, and walnut bitters. The Nigori Umeshu adds a fresh acidity and notable sweetness, complemented by the rye whiskey and a touch of cinnamon, resulting in a refreshing and flavorful Umeshu sour.
