Description
“The inspiration for this cocktail is from the comfort, season, and balance that figs bring. (I’m a country girl.) When you pick figs, your hands get sappy from the stem’s nectar and the leaves make a fantastic tea, so the whole branch brings me joy and there’s no waste. The nectar and leaves almost taste like a soft coconut—super refreshing and light. That balances the honey, lemon, and Glen Moray. All-natural goodness!” – Tiffanie Barriere, Freelance Bartender, Atlanta
