After Oktoberfest, I was over drinking Radler. So, to celebrate the last of the season’s plums I made cocktails!
Plum Martini
1 Shot Vanilla Stoli (preferable from the freezer)
2 tablespoons of plum syrup*
Ice
Shake all ingredients together with ice.
Pour into a martini glass.
Garnish with sliced plum
Plum Margarita
1 Shot tequila
1 splash triple sec or orange liquor
2 tablespoons plum syrup*
Ice
Blend all ingredients together in a blender.
Pour in a margarita glass.
Garnish with sliced plum or mint.
Enjoy!
*Plum Syrup
4 cups of sliced Plums
1 cup sugar
Puree plums in a blender.
Push puree through a sieve to extract the juice.
Discard plum pulp or save for another recipe.
In a small saucepan bring sugar and plum juice to a boil.
Turn seat down and simmer until the mixture has the consistency of syrup-
Let cool and pour into a clean jar, seal and refrigerate.
