Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker (to mix everything up)
  • Jigger: For measuring the rum and other ingredients accurately.
  • Muddler: To crush the plums and release all that juicy flavor.
  • Strainer: To pour out the drink smoothly.
  • Cocktail glass: Presentation is key, so I use a nice martini glass.

Ingredients

Now, let's check out the goodies that make this cocktail shine:

  • Fresh plums: 2 ripe plums sliced and pitted.
  • Rum: 2 oz. of light or dark rum depending on the flavor I like best.
  • Lime juice: 1 oz. freshly squeezed for a bit of zing.
  • Simple syrup: 1 oz. to balance the tartness.
  • Ice cubes: Plenty to keep it chill.
  • Garnish: A slice of plum or lime for a finishing touch.

Each ingredient plays a unique role, bringing a burst of flavor and balance to the drink.

Instructions

Here's how I whip up this delightful martini:

  • Muddle: Add plum slices to the shaker. Use the muddler to gently crush them.
  • Add Ice: Fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes.
  • Pour: Pour in rum, lime juice, and simple syrup.
  • Shake: Close the shaker and shake well for about 15 seconds until cold.
  • Strain: Use the strainer to pour the mixture into the glass.
  • Garnish: Add a plum slice for a fancy look, and it’s done!

Each step is simple and brings the ingredients together perfectly. The result is a refreshing drink that's too good to keep to myself!
