About this dish
Six tablespoons of plum syrup are poured through the ice to pool at the bottom, lemon juice goes in on top, and cold sparkling water runs down the side of the glass.

The result shades from dark at the bottom to pale at the top. A long spoon lifts from the bottom once or twice, no more.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Chill a highball or tall glass before assembling the drink.
Fill it to the top with 1.5 cups of firm ice so the glass stays cold and the sparkling water loses less fizz.
- 2
Pour 6 tablespoons of maesil syrup slowly between the ice cubes.
Let the syrup settle near the bottom so the sweetness is easy to judge and the drink can form clear layers.
- 3
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the syrup.
Do not stir hard yet; tilt the glass slightly so the acidity spreads without knocking too much air out of the drink later.
- 4
Pour 500 ml of cold sparkling water slowly down the inside wall of the glass.
If foam rises quickly, pause for a few seconds so it does not overflow and the carbonation stays lively.
- 5
Use a long spoon to lift the syrup from the bottom once or twice.
Avoid vigorous stirring, which flattens the bubbles and removes the pale layered look from the drink.
- 6
Top with 4 lemon slices and 4 mint leaves.
Serve immediately while the drink is very cold and visibly bubbly, adjusting with a little more sparkling water if the syrup tastes too sweet.
