Continuing on from the research into the Agar clarification technique of this week I have made a few more interesting drinks.

This one so far is definitely my favorite! I am a very big fan of Sake from living in Asia for many years. Here in Spain we have the most beautiful Plums in Season at the moment, I am eating them until they give me a stomach ache!

So with this one I selected my favorite sake as in these quantities you will still feel the full flavor of the rice coming through. I juiced some very over ripe plums but I left the skin on to give it that sweet and sour effect. So as per this technique I added 0.02% of Agar and set it. When set I pushed it though some absorbent paper and got the most beautiful and clear rose colored liquid. Well let’s just say it tastes 10 times better than it looks!

The best way to drink this is like a martini, so I have chilled it down to -7 using liquid nitrogen. The perfect summer cocktail and only 8% alcohol.
