HOMEMADE FIG SYRUP FOR COCKTAILS



Homemade Fig Syrup for Cocktails image

Add depth and decadence to your fall and winter cocktails with this fig simple syrup made with dried figs. Because it's made of dried figs, we'll cook it a little longer than usual to make sure to get a strong and vibrant fig flavor infused in the syrup. Using raw or brown sugar is best with this recipe to pair with the rich flavor from the figs.
