Golden plum kir royale "bowle," a fruity summer wine drink

Alcoholic beverages
recipe

This is my variation of a fruit and wine drink which is called a "Bowle" in Germany. You'll need ripe, soft fruit to make this drink, and mirabelle plums would be ideal. I used a local golden cherry plum, but Japanese shiro plums would also work. Any sweet plum that has yellow flesh would be fine to use. (The cherry plums in my photo are not ripe enough yet for this drink, but they ripen quickly.) Some of the photos show the first stage of this drink, while others illustrate the drink once various amounts of crème de cassis have been added. For both color and taste, I love the pairing of sweet purple cassis with the lingering tartness of even the sweetest yellow plums. I am also amazed by the hues you can create with this combination. It makes me think I should have trained for a career in drinks! Adding crushed ice is optional. Cheers! Prost!
