The Figroni

A rich, autumnal take on the Negroni, leveraging the sweet and Jammy notes of fig across all its components.

Ingredients:

• 30 ml Fig Gin
• 30 ml Fig Aperitif 
• 30 ml Fig Amaro
• 1 Ice Sphere (or large cube)

Instructions:

• Chill: Place a rocks glass in the freezer to chill for a few minutes.
• Combine: Add the 30 ml Fig Gin, 30 ml Fig Aperitif, and 30 ml Fig Amaro directly into a mixing glass filled with ice.
• Stir: Stir vigorously for 30-40 seconds. This is crucial. Because all three ingredients are likely quite sweet and rich, extended stirring is needed to provide enough dilution (melted ice) to balance the drink and mellow the flavors.
• Serve: Strain the stirred mixture into your chilled rocks glass over a fresh large ice sphere.
• Garnish: Express a wide strip of orange peel over the surface of the drink. Run the peel around the rim of the glass and then drop it into the drink as a garnish.

  • The Orange Garnish: The citrus oils from the expressed orange peel are non-negotiable. They provide a critical bright, zesty aroma that cuts through the rich fig sweetness and lifts the entire drink.
