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!
