I had originally bought this bottle of Umeshu to make a Rob Roy riff using some Japanese whiskey. That didn't work out too good lol so I had to go back to the drawing board. The majority of the drinks that I make are high proof so I wanted to make a lower ABV drink that was still delicious. This turned out great. The vanilla and allspice help accentuate the stone fruit flavours!

Muddle the nectarine in a shaker tin. Add the remaining ingredients and shake with ice. Double strain into an ice cube filled Footed Pilsner Glass. Garnish with the dehydrated lemon wheel and nectarine slice. Serve with a straw

Editor's Note

Umeshu and tawny port form an unusual but compelling split base. Muddled nectarine and a duo of citrus juices keep it bright, while allspice dram adds a warm, spicy finish.
