The Fig Old Fashioned isn’t just a cocktail; it’s an experience. Imagine the robust, oaky bourbon you love, but with a gentle nudge towards sweetness and depth, thanks to the fig syrup. Figs bring this unique balance of sweetness and earthiness that’s perfect for those who like their drinks with a bit of character.

Why You’ll Love It:

Simplicity: With only four components (counting ice), it’s easy to get right but hard to master.

Sophistication: Figs elevate the drink from bar staple to gourmet delight.

Versatility: While it stands alone beautifully, it’s also a great foundation for those who like to experiment.

Why the Fig Old Fashioned Recipe Stands Out:

Craftsmanship: Every ingredient plays its part, from the fig’s natural sweetness to the bourbon’s depth, all tied together with bitters.

Unique Twist: While many play with the Old Fashioned, the fig syrup adds an unexpected yet delightful note.

What does the The Fig Old Fashioned Cocktail taste like?

The Fig Old Fashioned is a beautifully balanced cocktail. The fig syrup adds a touch of sweetness with earthy, jammy notes that complement the bourbon’s oaky spice. Aromatic bitters provide a subtle layer of complexity, enhancing the fig and bourbon flavors. The result is a smooth, mellow, and utterly satisfying drink with a lingering warmth.

What tips do you have when making the The Fig Old Fashioned Cocktail?

Use a good quality fig syrup, preferably homemade for a more complex flavor. A dash of Angostura bitters adds a warm spice that complements the fig. Muddle the fig syrup with the bitters in the bottom of the glass to release its aromas. Use a large ice cube for slower dilution and a smoother drink. Garnish with a fig slice or a sprig of rosemary for a touch of elegance.
