Blessed (or maybe cursed) with 20 lbs. or so of greengage plums, so this was an opportunity to use one plum at the end of a day of canning and baking.
It ended up a little sweet with the dead ripe plum so I’d adjust the sugar, but I’d certainly try it again. Not many Slivovitz cocktail recipes out there.
Try this:
Serve in a Coupe glass
Garnish: Maraschino cherry and/or orange twist
How to make: Place ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake well and double strain into a chilled coupe. You can adjust the lemon juice and sugar syrup to your taste as it can be quite tart.
1 fl oz Maraska Zadarski Maraschino Liqueur
1 fl oz Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 1⁄2 barspoon Demerara/Muscovado/brown sugar syrup (2 sugar:1 water)
2 fl oz R. Jelínek Slivovice Zlatá (10 year old if you can find it)
