The classic Japanese service for ume plum liqueur: umeshu poured over ice cubes and topped with very cold sparkling water.
Ingredients
- 6 cl Japanese umeshu liqueur
- 12 cl plain sparkling water
- 5 pieces ice cubes
Method
- Place a highball glass in the refrigerator so it is perfectly chilled.
- Fill the glass to the top with very dry, solid ice cubes.
- Pour the umeshu directly over the ice cubes.
- Stir briefly with a long spoon to chill the liqueur evenly.
- Tilt the glass slightly and slowly pour the very cold sparkling water down the side to preserve as many bubbles as possible.
- Perform a single, gentle upward motion with the spoon, without beating or stirring the mixture for a long time.
- Serve immediately, without garnish.
