’Tis the [fig] season here in the Lowcountry so why not make the best of it in an Old Fashioned?
Next up on the #FestiveOldFashioned series with @oldforester is the talented, Meagan Cheek (@meaganvision) with a fig inspired Old Fashioned that is as local as it it is seasonal. Check out his details below.
“Figs, allspice, brown sugar, maple syrup, and of course bourbon... what flavors could be more fitting for the holiday season? I wanted to feature figs because they often get a bad rap (pun intended). For this representation of the OG Old Fashioned I have chosen Old Forester 1920 for its warming winter flavors of cherry, vanilla, and graham cracker sweetness. The spirit is then infused at a low heat with dried figs rolled in a bit of brown sugar. Finish with a touch of allspice dram, maple syrup, and cherry bark vanilla bitters. Garnish with a fresh halved fig nestled in a big beautiful peel of winter grapefruit. If you don’t know, now you know!”
