Chicago cocktail innovator Nandini Khaund designed this cocktail to be the perfect autumn drink.  Notes of fig, honey and incense keep it refreshing and drinkable in a surprisingly low-alcohol drink.


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) manzanilla sherry, such as La Guita
  • 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) Solera cream sherry, such as Lustau
  • 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) jun (fermented green tea with honey) or honey kombucha
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon (1/4 ounce) Amaro Sibilla liqueur or other smooth amaro
  • 1 teaspoon demerara sugar syrup
  • 4 drops orange flower water
  • 1/2 ripe fresh fig
  • 1 rosemary sprig

How to Make It

Step 1    

Combine manzanilla sherry, cream sherry, jun, amaro, and syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Cover and shake 10 times; strain into a stemmed cocktail glass.

Step 2    

Using a small dropper, add orange flower water to cocktail. Skewer fig with rosemary sprig, and set on rim of glass. Using a lit match or lighter, lightly toast rosemary sprig, releasing aroma. Serve immediately.
