To celebrate the first anniversary of the breakup (see my toot earlier today with a link to my blog), I made a dry, spiced Fig-Hattan….or is it a Fig-Fashioned? Whatever, it’s fabulous! Holy cow… yum.

Made the fig syrup with water, figs, a touch of sugar, chai spices, and extra cardamom. Drink is 1pt syrup, 2 pts bourbon, .5-.75pt dry vermouth. Combine all in a shaker with ice, shake the hell out of it, strain through fine mesh. Garnish with fig slices. 😁

I was hesitant about using bourbon. I have made figitinis in the past (vodka) and intended to do so again. But I saw something about bourbon and figs and thought, “what the hell, let’s see how that works.” Glad I did.

@LeslieBurns@esq.social That looks spectacular. Congratulations on being a year past that rigmarole.
