Ume Highball

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 oz whisky
• 1 oz umeshu
• 1 tsp ginger juice

  (from crushed or grated fresh ginger)
• 3.5 oz soda

  chilled
• ice
• ginger

  thinly sliced, to garnish

Instructions

• 1 Prepare the ginger juice by grating a portion of fresh ginger and
  squeezing/straining out the juice.
• 2 Fill a tall glass with ice (I like a nice crushed ice here, but it does tend to
  melt fast - use large pieces if you're looking for a slow sipper).  Combine the
  whisky, umeshu, and ginger in a small glass or cocktail shaker and pour down the
  side of the glass (rather than over the ice itself).
• 3 Top with soda, once again pouring down the side of the glass.  Stir gently and
  garnish with a ribbon of thinly sliced ginger.  Serve immediately.
