A well engineered cocktail transports you to a different level. When you pair it with a nibble that is simple yet sophisticated, you have hit nirvana. As many of you know, I am simply obsessed with figs. This year I discover tiger figs at Trader Joe's and made 40 pint jars of my infamous Balsamic Fig Jam. I have discovered a passion and appreciation of a great cocktail. I decided to create a signature fig cocktail to celebrate the beginning of fall, since figs are the quintessential sign fall is around the corner.
