Autumn Vodka Smash
The Autumn Vodka Smash is a delightful cocktail that brings together the warm, rich flavors of the season. With a base of vodka, this drink combines the sweetness of maple syrup and apple juice with the tartness of lemon juice. The unique addition of fresh fig and basil adds depth and complexity, making it a perfect choice for those crisp fall evenings.
Fig Bees Knees
The Fig Bees Knees is right up there as one of my favorite gin cocktails of all time. The tasty fig honey syrup is easy to make and takes no time at all. Just mix that with some gin and fresh lemon juice, garnish with a lemon twist and a fig slice, and you’re good to go.
Sexy Fig and Lemon Fizz
Some people might say that a fig can’t possibly be sexy. Well, here’s some strong evidence to the contrary. The Sexy Fig and Lemon Fizz is a bright, bubbly cocktail that everyone will love. You’ll want vodka for this one, and you’re going to be mixing simple syrup again, but this time with rosemary and honey. Combine that with lemon juice, club soda, and some fresh fig puree for an incredible drink.
Chocolate Fig Old Fashioned
Chocolate and fig together make an immaculate combo. Just throw some bourbon into that mix and you’re really speaking my language. If that sounds like your cup of tea, then you’ll love the Chocolate Fig Old Fashioned. This isn’t your typical Old Fashioned; you’ll need creme de cacao, aromatic bitters, and a couple of other out-of-the-ordinary ingredients for this tasty cocktail.
Fresh Fig Margaritas
I wasn’t sure about the Fresh Fig Margarita until I tried one. Now, I almost can’t go back to a regular marg. This fig cocktail requires a bit more work than some of the others, but it is absolutely worth every step. There’s something about the lime, mint, and fig flavors all together that really makes this drink stand out in a crowd.
Sage Fig Cocktail
Here’s a treat for all the rum lovers out there: the Sage Fig Cocktail. This cocktail is perfect for those Autumn brunch days where you want something light and refreshing. The sage sprigs give a unique accent of flavor to the drink and I absolutely love the orange liquer-fig-combination.
Fig and Fennel Sour
The Fig and Fennel Sour is an eye-catching fig cocktail that your tastebuds will love as well. I love a drink with egg whites. Bourbon, fennel, and fig work wonders together, too. It’s sweet and smooth with tons of flavor. The Fig and Fennel Sour is an easy bourbon cocktail that never fails to impress.
The Notorious F.I.G. – a Fig and Rye Cocktail
Clever wordplay aside, The Notorious F.I.G is an absolute smash hit whenever I mix it up for my friends based on taste alone. The name just makes it even better. This cocktail is perfect for serving a group because it’s so quick and easy. Just make sure you shake it up good!
Fig Daiquiri with Fig Leaf Simple Syrup
If there is anything out there better than a Strawberry Daquiri, I’d have to say it’s the Fig Daquiri. Again, you’ll be mixing simple syrup, but with fig leaves this time instead of the fruit itself. Once you’ve got your syrup, it’s just a couple ounces of light rum, fresh figs, lime juice, and a bit of ice.
Fig Moscow Mule with Infused Vodka
I love Moscow Mules, so I was elated to learn about the Fig Moscow Mule. What sets this recipe apart is that it calls for you to infuse your vodka with figs, star anise, and cinnamon. This step makes a huge difference so I urge you not to skip it. Other than that, it is a standard Moscow Mule as far as ingredients go, so I think you can take it from here.
Fig Jam and Gin Cocktail
Gin lovers, this one is for you. The Fig Jam and Gin Cocktail is truly something special, even if you aren’t a fan of the liquor. It doesn’t get much easier than this one. Simply combine fig jam, lemon juice, simple syrup, and gin and shake that bad Larry until chilled. All that’s left is to sip away.
Honey Fig Martinis
Honey Fig Martinis are a great way to shake up an old classic. Fresh figs, fig jame, honey, lemon juice, and vodka. What more could you want? Be sure to strain thoroughly when pouring to get the larger chunks of muddled fig out before serving.
Brown Sugar Fig Bubbly
On a chilly Fall morning when it’s time for brunch, all I want is one of these Brown Sugar Fig Bubble cocktails. Pretty much as soon as Summer is over, I say goodbye to Mimosas and hello to Brown Sugar Fig Bubbles. All you need is prosecco, lemon, brown sugar, and figs and you’re off to the races.
Roasted Fig Cocktail

This is another fig cocktail that caught me by surprise, but it was an extremely pleasant one, at that. Roast the figs with balsamic vinegar to make the fig puree and then mix it with bourbon, lemon juice, maple syrup, and orange bitters for the coziest cocktail there is.
About Figgin’ Thyme
It’s about time for another rum cocktail, I think. How’s an About Figgin’ Thyme sound? Whip up some thyme simple syrup and mix with apricot liqueur, allspice dram, lemon juice, light rum, and muddled figs. You won’t be disappointed with this one!
Vanilla Bean & Fig Cocktail
Nothing beats the simple flavor of vanilla, but when you combine it with the taste of fig it becomes something even better. Simple syrup is the crucial ingredient for this fig cocktail because it’s made with vanilla bean and chopped figs. It’s a fun, gorgeous drink that’s not too strong and has all the delightful sweetness of vanilla and fresh figs.
