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.
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.
