Ginny’s Tonic

Umeboshi is the vinegar leftover after pickling Japanese plums. It’s slightly sweet, briny, refreshing, and it perfectly complements ginger and lime in this cocktail. You can find umeboshi in most specialty markets and larger supermarkets. We like Eden Brand Ume Plum Vinegar.

You can easily double, triple, or make a pitcher of this tonic to serve at parties and gatherings.
