Most spritzes are stirred. This one goes in a blender, and the texture you get is the reason to bother: fresh plum broken down completely into the bitter liqueur, whipped to a light froth that sits on top of the drink instead of sinking.

Tamarindo is the right partner for it. Tamarind is already sweet-sour and slightly resinous, which is not far from what a red plum does, so the mineral water lengthens the drink without diluting its character.

## The Recipe

**Makes 1 · 5 minutes**

### Ingredients

- 1 fresh red plum, pitted and chopped
- 1.5 oz Italian red bitter liqueur
- 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 bottle (12 fl oz) Tehuacan Brillante Tamarindo
- 1 lemon wheel for garnish

### Method

1. Place the chopped plum, red bitter liqueur, and lemon juice into a blender.
2. Blend on high speed until the fruit is completely pureed and the mixture is frothy.
3. Fill a tall, plain smooth unmarked highball glass with fresh ice cubes.
4. Pour the blended plum mixture over the ice.
5. Top slowly with Tehuacan Brillante Tamarindo, stirring gently to integrate the fizz, and garnish with a lemon wheel.

### Notes

Use a ripe plum. A firm supermarket plum will blend into something pale and sour, and you will end up adding sugar to fix it.

Pour the Tamarindo in slowly and stir once. Blended fruit and carbonation fight each other, and a fast pour will foam over the rim.

Best in the late afternoon, with salted almonds or a plate of chips and something bitter. This is an aperitivo, not a thirst-quencher.
