Umeshu Negroni

Made from the spectacular stone fruit ume, also referred to as Chinese plum or Japanese apricot, umeshu sake has a unique flavor that is bright, rich, and curiously savory sweet. And when combined with gin and gentian, it makes for one especially wonderful take on the classic Negroni.
