Ingredients for two glasses of rum and dried fig cocktail
- 240 ml rum
- 120 ml fig liqueur (here is the recipe.)
- 60 ml lemon juice
- 8 dried figs, rehydrated and chopped
- Ice cubes
- Slice of lime or lemon for garnish (optional)
Preparation
Start by rehydrating the dried figs by soaking them in water for at least 30 minutes. This will restore their juicy texture and make them easier to chop. Also, as El Pajarero dried figs are small, cutting them into three pieces will be enough.
2. Once rehydrated, chop the dried figs and place them in a bowl.
3. Add the rum, fig liqueur and lemon juice to a bowl with the chopped figs. Mix all the ingredients well until a homogeneous combination is obtained.
4. Fill a cocktail glass to the brim with ice.
5. Pour the rum, fig liqueur and lemon mixture over the ice.
6. If desired, garnish the cocktail with a slice of lime or lemon on the rim of the glass. This will add a fresh and visually appealing touch.
7. Gently shake the cocktail to mix the flavours and enjoy the aroma.
8. Now it's ready to sip! Sip slowly on this exquisite cocktail that combines the tropical flavours of rum and dried figs with the freshness of lime juice.
9. Oh, and the most important point, share it and enjoy it with company :)
