How to Make the Fig Leaf Mixed Drink

Video Transcript

"Let's make a "Fig Leaf". It starts with ice in a glass as always. We can use equal parts of liquor in this one. The jigger I'm using is one ounce on one side and a half an ounce on the other side and we are using the one ounce. We are going to use light rum, there are many light rums to choose from, pick your favorite if you'd like. We are going to use one ounce of sweet vermouth. So use a couple squirts of lime juice and a splash of bitters. Now that I have got all these ingredients in here we are going to go ahead and shake them up quite nicely. We started with a chilled cocktail glass which tends to make the drink last a little bit longer. A cold drink into a cold glass makes a lot of sense to me. And to start your evening we have the "Fig Leaf". Cheers."
