Ingredients

For persimmon puree:
  • 2 Fuyu persimmon tops removed and quartered, ripe
  • 1/2 cup water more may be needed
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
For cocktail:
  • 2 ounces rye or bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons persimmon puree
  • 4 orange bitters shakes
  • seltzer water
  • rosemary for garnish, optional
  • cranberries for garnish, optional, fresh

Instructions

For persimmon puree:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add persimmons, water, and brown sugar to a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick simply thin out with more water until desired consistency has been met. You're looking for the puree to be smooth and just slightly thick. If you want the mixture sweeter add more brown sugar.
  3. Should make around 1-1/2 cups but will depend on the persimmon size and amount of water added.
For cocktail:
  1. Fill a short cocktail glass with ice.
  2. Add in 2 tablespoons persimmon puree and the remaining ingredients.
  3. Give a gentle stir to combine.
  4. Garnish with rosemary and cranberries if desired. Totally optional but looks really pretty.
  5. If you want more fruit and sweetness simply add more puree.
