Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe fresh figs, quartered
- 1 small sprig fresh rosemary (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 ounces (60 ml) London dry gin (e.g., Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire)
- 3/4 ounce (22 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce (15 ml) simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water)
- 3 ounces (90 ml) chilled soda water
- Ice
- Optional: dash of Angostura bitters
Instructions
- Place quartered figs and rosemary sprig into a cocktail shaker. Gently muddle for about 30 seconds to release juices and aroma without pureeing.
- Add gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and bitters (if using) to the shaker.
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until chilled.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a highball glass filled with fresh ice.
- Top with chilled soda water.
- Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig and a thin slice of fig on the rim. Serve immediately.
Notes
Do not over-muddle the rosemary to avoid bitterness. Use ripe figs for best flavor. Keep all ingredients chilled to maintain fizz and freshness. Double straining yields a smoother drink. Adjust simple syrup to taste if figs are less sweet.
