From April 2022: "My black rum banana chip syrup has been avenged. I infused a bottle of rye with plums, then made a syrup with said plums. The result is a spicy, fruity, and deeply layered mix that I’m really excited to put to work. It’s awesome. Here’s the first drink I made with it. It’s also awesome. It has nothing to do with sultans—I was just listening to Dire Straits lmao." Recommended brands: •Pike Creek 10 Y.O. Rum Barrel Finish •D'Eaubonne V.S.O.P

Editor's Note

Plum-infused rye and Donn's Spices create a deep, jammy sour. The split base of brandy and rye adds a complex, spicy backbone to this velvety, fruit-forward creation.
