The Fig in a Blanket

I was inspired to make something that would highlight the bourbon while maintaining a fruity and spicy flavor profile that pairs beautifully with the 10 year old spirit. What better way than with this fresh fig/peppercorn syrup I made earlier this week. Check out the cocktail recipe (including the syrup) below, if you end up making it, let me know what you think!



 

ingredients:

  • 2 oz 10 Year Bourbon

  • ½ oz Fig/Peppercorn Syrup (Recipe Below)

  • ½ oz Dry Curacao

  • 5 Drops Fig/Orange Bitters

  • 1 Fresh Fig

  • 1 Dehydrated Orange Wheel

instructions:

Combine all wet ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir for 15 seconds. Strain over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. Garnish with a charred/caramelized fig and a dehydrated orange wheel. Serve and enjoy!
