It's tea time: "Yam Yam" - Umeshu cocktail with Tsukushi Green Tea
Apr 03, 2021
Tsukushi Umeshu is the perfect combination of umeshu and the finest yamecha tea, a local specialty from Fukuoka. The liqueur has a balance of beautiful sweetness and pleasant acidity with an intense aroma of green tea and is great in cocktails. As in this case, together with sweet potato shochu (imo) and red vermouth.
For the "Yam Yam" you need:
- 4cl Shiranami Shochu (imo/sweet potato)
- 2.5 cl Tsukushi Green Tea Umeshu
- 2cl Vermouth, e.g. La Coppa
Preparation:
Shake all the ingredients well in a shaker with plenty of ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
Cheers!
