Equipment

Ingredients

  • 0.5 ounce elderflower liqueur
  • 0.5 ounce lemon juice
  • 0.5 ounce honey
  • Prosecco to top
  • Fresh fig diced
  • Fresh thyme leaves plus extra for garnish
  • Fig slice for garnish

Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the diced fig, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, honey, and fresh thyme leaves.
  • Use a muddler to gently press down on the figs, releasing their juices and lightly smashing them to infuse the flavors with the thyme.
  • Add ice to the shaker, then secure the lid and shake vigorously until well-chilled.
  • Strain the mixture into a glass.
  • Top with prosecco to create a sparkling finish.
  • Garnish with an additional fig slice and a sprig of fresh thyme for an elegant presentation.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For a smoother cocktail, double-strain the mixture to remove fig seeds and thyme bits.
  • Adjust the honey to taste based on the sweetness of the figs.
  • Lightly bruise the thyme sprig garnish before adding it to release more aromatic oils.
