2 oz Japanese Whisky, Nikka Coffey Grain
1 oz Umeshu (I use Choya brand)
5 dr Pomegranate molasses
3 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Mix all ingredients without ice until pomegranate molasses fully dissolves, then serve over a big cube in a rocks glass

Notes

Umeshu and Nikka whiskey go together like butter and bread. A little added sweetness and tartness from the pomegranate molasses takes the combination to the next level (you can add more of the molasses if you prefer a more tart drink)

  • Made with a homemade white rum based umeshu. I'd strongly recommend a full barspoon of pomegranate molasses. Also stir w/ ice before serving but after dissolving pomegranate. (4.5★)
  • Very subtle. And drinkable. Used 7 drops of pomegranate molasses & Crude bitterless marriage bitters. — ★★★★★
