REFRESHING is probably the best way to describe this cocktail. As we played with the recipe, we found both Red Currant Citrus and Toasted Fig paired very well with the lemon. Contrasting flavors worked nicely, especially with the Toasted Fig.
- Ice
- 2 oz. gin
- 1 oz. lemon juice
- .75 ml Toasted Fig
- .75 ml Red Currant Citrus
- 1/2 oz. simple syrup
- Club soda
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the gin, simple syrup, Toasted Fig, Red Currant Citrus and lemon juice to the cocktail shaker. Shake well for at least 15 seconds. Strain the mixture into a highball glass over plenty of ice. Top the rest of the glass off with the club soda. If you like, garnish with a slice of orange or maraschino cherries.
