Method
Build & Mix
Chill glass
Place a Collins or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare ingredients to chill the glass.
Mix base
In a mixing glass or shaker filled with ice, combine 1.5 oz whiskey, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup. Stir briskly 10–15 seconds to chill and slightly dilute.
Assemble
Discard ice or water from the chilled serving glass and fill it with fresh ice (about 1 cup). Strain the whiskey-lime mixture over the ice.
Top with soda
Carefully top with 4 oz Aplos Ume cream soda to preserve carbonation. Give the drink one gentle stir (1–2 rotations) to integrate soda with the base without flattening it.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. If using, skewer a pickled ume and rest it on the rim or float it in the drink; add a mint sprig for aromatic lift. Serve immediately with a straw or cocktail pick.
