Today I learned how to make an awesome drink: a Fig Cocktail. (Although I think there needs to be a more impressive name for this). It's actually pretty good, and people who like scotch will especially enjoy it. It's easy:
1 shot chambord
1 small shot single malt scotch (We used Drambuie)
1/2 teaspoon fig essence or fig jam (usually available in the jam/near the cheese section of your grocery store, or here)
1 slice of fig (optional)
Splash of Club Soda
Pour into a cocktail glass over ice cubes.
If you don't like scotch, you can try this tasty alternative.
PS - the drambuie gives it a nice smoky flavor. Essence of fig is better, but if you cant get it, the fig preserves is fine.
