Notes
- I made this cocktail with dark rum. The caramel notes pair so well with the sweet fig. Alternatively, you could use a bourbon of choice for a mocktail a zero-proof rum or omit the alcohol entirely :)
- I opted for a fun chocolate fig garnish. It’s not only beautiful but a fun treat whilst sipping your cocktail! Alternatively, you could use just fresh fig or fig with some thyme would also look stunning
