Method

How to make Sugar My Plums

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one small Nick and Nora glass and place exactly two small red grapes on one very short plain pick.

  2. 02

    Dust the two grapes lightly with the measured white sugar, shaking away any loose excess.

  3. 03

    Measure the sake, Mirabelle plum eau-de-vie, umeshu, and two restrained dashes of plum bitters into a mixing glass.

  4. 04

    Fill the mixing glass with solid cold ice and stir smoothly for 20–25 seconds until very cold.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled glass so the pale golden surface remains clear and free of ice chips.

  6. 06

    Rest the single compact sugared-grape pick at the rim and serve without plum, citrus, or another garnish.
