Figs are in season and these are the perfect cocktail for fall! Figs can be found in specialty food stores throughout the fall. Their intense sweetness are perfect for a rich cocktail. These beauties made it, barely, over 20 miles of dirt road to cocktail Friday in Atlanta, Idaho.
Cocktail
2 oz Bourbon we went with Buffalo Trace
3/4 oz Brown sugar + fig simple syrup
1/4 Lemon juiced or more if desired
2 Dashes orange bitters
Spiced Fig Simple Syrup
4 Figs
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1/2 Cup water
Make the simple syrup a head of time, even a day or two. The longer the syrup sets the more flavorful it becomes. Add all of the ingredients to a saucepan on medium heat. Stir and cook until all of the sugar has dissolved and the figs are mushy. Mash with a fork while it is cooking. Do not let the sugar boil or burn!
Once you have your simple syrup made and cooled, add all cocktail ingredients together in a shaker with a cup full of ice. Strain it into a glass over ice. Add more fresh lemon juice to taste.
