This persimmon old-fashioned cocktail is a tasty winter libation. Made with a sweet persimmon puree, rye, and just a touch of seltzer. So easy to make!
Add persimmons, water, and brown sugar to a blender or food processor.
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.
Should make around 1-1/2 cups but will depend on the persimmon size and amount of water added.
For cocktail:
Fill a short cocktail glass with ice.
Add in 2 tablespoons persimmon puree and the remaining ingredients.
Give a gentle stir to combine.
Garnish with rosemary and cranberries if desired. Totally optional but looks really pretty.
If you want more fruit and sweetness simply add more puree.
