The Fig & Nut Old Fashioned is a sophisticated twist on the classic Old Fashioned, blending rich, earthy flavors with a hint of sweetness. The warmth of Bourbon pairs beautifully with the nutty complexity of Almond Bitters, while the Fig Purée adds a subtle sweetness that balances the drink. A large ice cube slowly melts, keeping the cocktail cool and concentrated, allowing the flavors to develop as you sip. The twist of orange peel adds a bright, citrusy aroma, making this cocktail a perfect choice for those who appreciate a refined, yet bold drink.
