Fig Whisky Sour

What's better than a Whisky Sour, you ask? The Fig Whisky Sour, of course. This easy whisky sour recipe is perfectly balanced, sweet-tart, and figs are in season, making this cocktail the perfect holiday sipper!

Cocktail Ingredients:

2 oz Whisky
Juice of half a lemon
0.75 oz Fig Syrup (recipe to follow)
0.5 oz Aperol
1 egg white (make it vegan with 1 tbsp of chickpea aquafaba)
Sprig of rosmary, sliced fresh figs for garnish

Fig Syrup Ingredients:

1/2 cup fig preserves (we used a fig merlot preserve - delish!)
1/2 cup water

Step One:

Prepare the Fig Syrup. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup fig preserves.
Bring to a boil and stir the mixture consistently for about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Pour Fig Syrup through a fine mesh strainer to filter out seeds. Store syrup in a mason jar in the fridge.

Make the Cocktail:

In a cocktail shaker, add whisky, fig syrup, egg white (or aquafaba), lemon juice, and rosemary.
Muddle the fresh rosemary to release the herbaceous aroma and flavour. Dry shake (without ice) until combined.
Next, add ice and shake for 20 seconds until your cocktail is frosty and frothy.
Add ice to your cocktail glass and strain your cocktail into your prepared glass.
Garnish with a sliced fig and a sprig of rosemary.
