FIG LEAF OF



Ok ok... I know this is really similar to my last one, but it's pure coincidence. The day after I made the autumn harvest OF, I saw the fig leaf syrup recipe on IG parttimemixologist and ran back to my neighborhood tree to fetch leaves. He posted this OF a few days later and it was strikingly similar, but whatevs, it's a great spec! 😋



To me, fig leaf syrup is similar to toasted coconut or even pandan. It's a warm, nutty flavor.



- 2 dashes walnut bitters

- 1 dash Angostura bitters

- ¼ oz fig leaf syrup

- 2 oz rye



Stir // strain // garnish: fig leaf coin



Method: combine all ingredients in a mixing glass, add cracked ice, and stir it down. Strain over a large rock of clear ice, and garnish with a fig leaf cut into a circle shape.



Fig leaf syrup: pick fresh, green fig tree leaves and wash them gently. Pat them dry and then toast them in the oven at 95°C/200°F for 30 minutes. Prepare a 2:1 simple syrup and place the crushed leaves in while it's hot, letting sit for 2-12 hours. Strain through a cheesecloth or paper towel, bottle it up, and store in the fridge for several weeks.
