Blushing Fig

Ingredients:

• 2 oz (60 ml) POSH gin
• 1 oz (30 ml) freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
• 1 oz (30 ml) fig syrup (Recipe in instructions)
• 1/2 oz (15 ml) lemon juice
• 1-2 dashes of Angostura bitters
• Ice
• Fresh fig slice or grapefruit wedge for garnish
• Fig Syrup
• 4-5 fresh figs
• 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) water

Instructions:

• Wash and slice the figs.

• In a small saucepan, combine the figs, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the figs break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
• Remove the syrup from heat and strain it through a fine mesh sieve, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
• Fill your glass with ice.
• In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, grapefruit juice, fig syrup, lemon juice, and bitters. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well until chilled (about 15-20 seconds).
• Strain the cocktail into your prepared glass.
• Garnish with a fresh fig slice or a wedge of grapefruit.
