Sour Plum Syrup

Salty-sour plum with a sweet finish. One of the three original flavours.

Sour plum is sharp, a little salty and fruity underneath, the taste of asam boi. It cuts through sweet juices and coconut water and gives a long drink some backbone. It was one of the first three Two Minute Cocktail flavours in 2018.

Method

Before serviceCut pineapple wedges and have the sour plums and cherries ready before service.

  1. Add 90 ml tequila, 60 ml coconut water, 30 ml sour plum syrup and 60 ml orange juice to a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake, then pour into a hurricane glass.
  3. Top with 60 ml isotonic drink.
  4. Garnish with a sour plum, a pineapple wedge and a cherry.

Bartender's noteThis is tequila without the salt and lime. The sour plum does the sour, salty job instead, and the coconut water rounds off the spirit.

Zero-proofLeave out the tequila and top with soda water in its place.

FAQ

About Sour Plum Syrup

What can I make with sour plum syrup?

Sour plum lime soda, sour plum iced tea, or NK Menon's Sour Cop, which pairs it with coconut water and orange juice. It also stands in for salt-and-lime in tequila drinks.

Is sour plum syrup only for cocktails?

No. It works just as well in drinks without a spirit: with lime and soda, in iced tea, or with coconut water.
