Brown Sugar Fig Bubbly
Description
This cocktail starts by soaking ripe, soft figs sliced and stemmed with brown sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. The mixture is muddled for five minutes until it turns into a syrupy consistency, with broken-down figs and extracted juice. Large pieces of fig skin may be removed for a smoother texture. Ice is added to the glass to chill the drink.
The fig syrup is portioned into each glass and topped with bubbly prosecco, then garnished with additional fig slices. The drink balances natural fig sweetness and tart lemon, enhanced by sparkling wine's effervescence, making for a lightly sweet and refreshing cocktail.
Small, ripe figs are preferred for best results, and the muddling time is important to break down the fruit fully. Serving immediately ensures the prosecco stays fizzy.
Ingredients
- 10 to 12 figs sliced and stems removed, plus a few extra for garnish, ripe
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- lemon juice juice of 1 lemon
- 1 prosecco 750 mL chilled bottle
Instructions
- Note: if you have reeeeally small figs, there might be a chance that you need a few more. Make sure the figs are soft and ripe and juicy!
- In the bottom of a large glass or jar, add the figs, the brown sugar and the lemon juice. Use a cocktail muddler to mash and muddle the mixture for a full 5 minutes or so, until the figs break down and you have a syrupy mix. You can remove and large pieces of the fig skin at this time too.
- Add ice to the glass (crushed or cubed - your choice!) and add in your fig mixture. You can do 2 to 3 tablespoons per glass or just divide it evenly. Top each glass with prosecco, add a sliced fig in there and serve!
