Umeshu Jelly
‘Umeshu’ is a Japanese liqueur made by steeping unripe Ume fruits (similar to apricot) in strong alcohol, such as Shōchū, with Sugar. It has quite high alcohol content. Believe or not, I was allowed to drink it when I was a child. It was mixed with plenty of icy cold water, though. This jelly is very alcoholic and only for grown-ups. ‘Umeshu’ can be replaced with other fruit liqueur.
