Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Rum
  • 0.5 oz Lemon Juice
  • 1 Spoonful Fig Jam
  • 1 Dash Chocolate Bitters
  • Fig Slice for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill your glass halfway with crushed ice.
  • Add the rum, lemon juice, and a spoonful of fig jam to the glass.
  • Swizzle the ingredients vigorously using a bar spoon or swizzle stick to mix and chill the drink, ensuring the fig jam dissolves and incorporates fully.
  • Add more crushed ice to the glass and swizzle again to ensure the drink is fully chilled and the flavors are evenly blended.
  • Top the drink with a final layer of crushed ice and dash the chocolate bitters over the top.
  • Garnish with a fresh slice of fig for a touch of elegance.
  • Enjoy immediately, savoring the sweet, smoky, and complex flavors.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • If the fig jam is thick, you can loosen it by stirring in a small amount of warm water before adding it to the glass.
  • Opt for a dark or spiced rum for a deeper, more complex flavor.
  • Using crushed ice is key to this cocktail's texture and balance. Make sure to swizzle thoroughly to ensure the drink is well-chilled.
