Red Plum and Rye
A fresh, clean flavor profile that is subtle enough for summer but complex enough to be an end-of-the-day sipper. This is my kind of last call.
Ingredients
- 4 slices red plum
- 4 sage leaves
- 1/4 ounce simple syrup (see recipe below)
- 1 1/2 ounces rye whiskey (I recommend Redemption Rye)
- 1/2 ounce Cointreau
- 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Simple Syrup Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 cups of sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool thoroughly before using. Store leftover syrup in the refrigerator.
- Gently muddle plum, sage and syrup. Add rye, Cointreau and lemon juice. Shake. Strain into a chilled Martini glass.
