Time 5m

Yield 1 cocktail

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 fresh fresh whole ripe fig
6 fresh mint leaves
2 -3 brown sugar cubes
1/4 cup Bourbon
ice cube
1/2 cup ginger ale, chilled
mint sprig (to garnish)

Steps:

Muddle fig, mint leaves, and brown sugar cubes against sides of a cocktail shaker. (Fig needs to be fairly broken down.) Add bourbon and enough ice cubes to fill shaker (about 1 cup). Cover with lid, and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled (about 30 seconds).
Strain into a 10-oz. glass filled with ice cubes. Top with chilled ginger ale. Stir gently, and garnish, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:

Use ripe figs for the best flavor.
If you don't have any fresh figs, you can use dried figs. Just soak them in warm water for 15 minutes before using.
Use a good quality bourbon for the best flavor. A wheated bourbon will give you a sweeter flavor, while a rye bourbon will give you a spicier flavor.
If you don't have any bourbon, you can use another type of whiskey, such as scotch or Irish whiskey.
Add a splash of lemon juice to taste. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the figs and bourbon.
Garnish with a fig wedge and a sprig of mint for a festive touch.

Conclusion:

The Fig and Bourbon Fizz is a refreshing and delicious cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new cocktail to try, give the Fig and Bourbon Fizz a try. You won't be disappointed!
