Hello everyone,
This is Nakao, Ume Concierge at the Kamakura store.
When I’m tired, I love drinking tart ume syrup.
Today, I’d like to share cocktail recipes made with ume syrup—perfect for parties or for simply enjoying ume in a slightly different way.
These can also be prepared as non-alcoholic drinks, making them enjoyable for those who don’t drink alcohol, as well as for expectant or nursing mothers.
Ume Singapore Sling
【Recipe】
- 25 ml ume syrup
- 170 ml soda
- 40 ml pink gin
- 1 Purple Queen ume
- 1 lemon slice
※For a non-alcoholic version, replace the pink gin with 5 ml cherry syrup.
At first, you’ll taste the refreshing flavor of pink gin. Gradually, it transforms into the fruity richness of ume syrup.
Ume Gin Buck
【Recipe】
- 25 ml ume syrup
- 30 ml gin
- 200 ml ginger ale
- 1 Fully-ripened Nanko ume
※For a non-alcoholic version, simply add extra ginger ale instead of gin.
The crisp flavor of a classic gin buck is perfectly balanced with the fruity sweetness of ume syrup, making it smooth and easy to enjoy.
Making ume cocktails together with family and friends is sure to lift your spirits.
Why not try a new way of enjoying ume syrup?
