Fig Jam Old Fashioned

February 10, 2021

Fig jam and bourbon? We’re in. Here is a brilliant riff on the old fashioned by Associate Editor Ann Walczak. Watch her demonstrate this (and see her awesome home bar) on Instagram Live.

Ingredients

2ounces bourbon

1/2 – 3/4ounce fig jam

4drops lemon juice, preferably with lemon oil

2drops black walnut bitters

2drops Angostura bitters

splashclub soda

Preparation

1. Combine all ingredients in shaker with ice. Shake hard. Double strain over large ice cube in rocks glass.
2. Top with a mere splash of soda water.

*If a little strong, or if fig jam flavor is a little muted, add 1/4 ounce of simple syrup. It will brighten the fig flavor.
**This drink can absolutely be adjusted to taste. If you need more jam, go for it. If you need more brightness, add more lemon.
