The Alchemic Fig

Description: This unique, complex cocktail merges the rich depth of Christian Brothers VSOP brandy with the herbal intensity of green chartreuse and the smoky complexity of Islay single malt scotch. A touch of fig syrup and Fernet Branca add layers of sweetness and bitterness, while an absinthe rinse provides an aromatic, almost mystical quality. Balanced with the spice of cinnamon bourbon and the warmth of roasted carrot bitters, this drink promises an exceptional tasting experience.
