Instructions

The Fig Leaf Reverie Manhattan is a sophisticated twist on a classic cocktail. It combines the rich warmth of cognac with the fruity sophistication of fig leaf infusion and the traditional Manhattan elements. The result is a drink that's both innovative and familiar, perfect for sipping and savoring. Ingredients: - 2 oz Cognac - 1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth - 1/4 oz Fig Leaf Infusion - 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters - Garnish: Brandied cherry or a fresh fig slice Instructions: 1. To make the fig leaf infusion, pick fresh fig leaves, rinse them, and pat dry. Submerge the leaves in a neutral spirit, like vodka, in a sealed jar for about 1-2 weeks. Strain out the leaves and bottle the infusion for use. 2. In a mixing glass filled with ice, pour in the cognac, sweet vermouth, fig leaf infusion, and Angostura bitters. 3. Stir the mixture for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink properly. 4. Strain the contents into a chilled Nick and Nora glass. 5. Garnish with a brandied cherry or a fresh fig slice on a cocktail skewer. 6. Serve immediately, and enjoy the deep, nuanced flavors of this newly reimagined Manhattan. The choice of a Nick and Nora glass complements the elegant and refined qualities of this cocktail, making it perfect for an intimate gathering or as a luxurious end to a meal.
