Fancy Fig Drinks for Fall

Who doesn’t love to bring out the apples, peaches, and pears for favorite recipes when temps start to drop? As we bask in the beauty of the changing season, we also turn to our seasonal culinary favorites!

Here at Minnybar, we love an innovative and exciting cocktail menu. So, we are finding inspiration in a lesser-used key ingredient: the FIG!

Let’s take a sweet trip down fig lane as we indulge in the complexity of the Asian fruit. You can enjoy them fresh this season or canned year-round. These deep purple beauties are good as a dessert, entree, or a drink. Here are a few favorites to get your palate smiling!

Fig, Honey, Thyme, & Prosecco Smash

Easy to make, easy to enjoy!

What you’ll need:

• Fresh figs

• Ripe plums (or a couple of tablespoons of pomegranate arils as an alternative)

• Elderflower liquor: the surprising ingredient that makes this drink so special!

• Lemon juice.

• Honey: just the right amount of sweetness!

• Fresh thyme: a lovely pairing to figs.

• Prosecco.

Simply muddle everything together and add the prosecco!

CHEERS!
