Hutong Plum

Sour plum drink with light-aroma baijiu, layering smoked-plum and grain aromas.

Menulet version

For one serving

Ingredients

  • Light Aroma Baijiu
    30 ml / 1.01 US fl oz
  • Sour Plum Drink
    120 ml / 4.06 US fl oz
  • Osmanthus Syrupoptional

    Add if available; osmanthus and sour plum are a classic pairing

    5 ml / 0.17 US fl oz

US fl oz amounts are rounded; use ml for exact measures.

Make it

  1. Fill an old-fashioned glass with ice.
  2. Pour in baijiu and chilled sour plum drink.
  3. Stir about ten turns until the outside of the glass is cold.
  4. Drizzle a small spoonful of osmanthus syrup over the surface, if available.

Behind the drink

Sour plum drink is already balanced with smoked-plum notes, hawthorn acidity and rock-sugar sweetness. Light-aroma baijiu stays in the background, adding grain aroma and a longer finish.
