Fall is here and we're celebrating the change of seasons with @resplendentkitchen's elegant Sour. Thanks to a homemade plum ginger syrup, we have no doubt this lightly sweet and tart cocktail will become a seasonal favourite! (Serves 2)

Method

Add all ingredients to a shaker. Shake for thirty seconds, add ice, then shake for another 30 seconds again—strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with sliced plum. ⁠*For the syrup, combine ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a low boil and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. ⁠Add 2 ripe plums, pitted and sliced⁠ and a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced⁠. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes on low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain syrup into a glass container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.⁠
