A traditional Japanese ume liqueur was the jumping off point for this Collins-style cocktail, made in collaboration between bartenders Alicia Perry and Ewan Bennie. Complemented by California-made Amaro Angeleno (with its notes of orange, gentian and jasmine), peach liqueur and lime juice, all topped with soda, it’s simple, bright and refreshing.
