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.
  • Dive in!
