What To Do:
Pour vodka into a clean quart container or other lidded vessel and add the sliced plums. Cover and let sit in a cool, dark place for 2 days.
Once infused, use an immersion blender to pulverize the plums in the vodka. Set a fine mesh strainer over another vessel and pour in the blended vodka to strain out the solids.
Place 2 oz of the plum vodka, simple syrup, Cointreau, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well, then strain into a chilled martini glass. Serve with a lime wedge on the rim.
About the Recipe
The plumopolitan is a fruity and refreshing cocktail you can make with fresh summer plums. Any variety of plums or plumcots will do, but we highly recommend one of the crimson-fleshed varieties from Family Tree Farms, like the Flavor Gator or Summer Punch plumcots. This will give your cocktails an eye-catching hue!
