Helpful Tips

Here are a few tips to enhance your Fig Sour cocktail experience:

• You can make the fig syrup ahead of time.
• If fresh figs are not available, you can use fig jam to make fig simple syrup as a substitute.
• Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less fig simple syrup, depending on your preference.
• For an extra touch of elegance, rim the glass with sugar before pouring in the cocktail.
• Use unflavored vodka of vanilla vodka if you can't find fig flavored vodka at your local liquor store.
• If you prefer a stronger cocktail, you can increase the amount of vodka to suit your taste.

How to Make Homemade Fig Infused Vodka

1. Start with your favorite, good quality unflavored vodka. We recommend higher-end vodka that will produce a better and smoother flavor.
2. Pour the vodka into a large contained with a lid.
3. Cut the figs into small pieces and add them to the vodka.
4. Add whole vanilla beans to the mixture if you prefer a vanilla-fig flavored vodka. If you prefer a cleaner, fig only flavored vodka then eliminate the vanilla beans.
5. Let the mixture sit for at least 24 hours, so the figs have a chance to infuse their flavor into the vodka.
6. Strain the infused vodka and transfer it to a bottle.
