Plum wine

Plum wine, used for cocktails

Plum wine is a liqueur made by steeping tart plums in clear liquor (usually shochu or soju) and sugar. It’s not a true wine, as it isn’t fermented. Plum wine is popular all throughout Asia, including Japan, China, and Korea.

Some bottles include whole plums. Don’t throw them away – those booze-soaked treats are delicious!

Really Good App

We downloaded the app after seeing it as one of the top posts on /r/cocktails, and we've been playing around with it and adding our ingredients to the list. While it's not an all inclusive list of ingredients (missing some creme de ), it's a solid overall app and tosses out some truly spectacular recipes based on what you have in your liquor cabinet. Minor quibbles for an otherwise fantastic application!
