Whiskey Fig Martini

August 13, 2015 by Judy 9 Comments

Figs and whiskey make a delicious combination and this Whiskey Fig Martini is sure to please all the whiskey and fig lovers out there. You could even substitute your favorite bourbon if you like.

Whiskey (or bourbon) and Fig MartiniI saw a recipe recently for maple roasted figs from The Roasted Root. Her pictures were so beautiful and the first thought that came to mind was to make them into a martini!  I roasted the figs with maple syrup as directed in the recipe and added some thyme from my miniature herb garden on the patio (read: small pot).  I thought about muddling the figs for the cocktail but I really don’t like a lot of pulp in my drinks so I decided to puree them instead.  Whiskey (or bourbon) seemed to be the perfect spirit to use with figs so I went with that.

Whiskey Fig MartiniTo finish the Whiskey Fig Martini, I double strained it, just to make sure I wasn’t getting little fig seeds stuck in my teeth!  The maple roasted figs were lovely in this cocktail and, unless you’re making a lot of cocktails, there’s enough leftover fig puree to spread on some bread with goat cheese for a delightful appetizer to accompany your cocktail!
