Plums are a fruit that can add a sweet and slightly tart flavor to cocktails, enhancing the depth and complexity of the drink. In the realm of mixology, plums can be used fresh, as a juice, or even in a syrup form. They pair particularly well with dark spirits like bourbon or rum, where their rich, fruity flavors can stand up to the robustness of the alcohol. Plums can also be muddled or used as a garnish to add both visual appeal and a burst of fresh, juicy flavor to summer cocktails or fruity sangrias.
