Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounce don julio añejo tequila
- 1/2 pound fig preserves
- 1/2 ounce orange juice
- 5 fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/2 ounce ginger syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- one 2-inch piece fresh ginger, finely chopped
Directions
- In a shaker, muddle all the ingredients except the ginger syrup. Add the ginger syrup and fill with ice. Shake well and strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice or a highball glass without ice. Garnish with a rosemary sprig.
- Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Place the ginger in a mesh strainer and pour the mixture over the top. Press the ginger with a muddler or the back of a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible.
