Cocktail of the Week #4

Ok, so this is the drink that I created, we will actually be serving this at Ballard's Bar at West Baden Springs Hotel for a week, starting Monday Feb. 13. I have since improved this cocktail and thats the recipe you're getting here. Don't get me wrong. The other recipe is better, this just adds a different element. This drink is sort of inspired by something my Dad can't have! Figs.

The Fig Tree

2 oz. Bacardi White Rum
1/2 oz. Lemon Juice
1 oz. Fig Infused Simple Syrup
2 dashes Fee Bros. Black Walnut Bitters
Splash of Ginger Ale
A very tiny amount of vanilla bean, less than 1/16 tsp.

In a shaker glass, build rum, lemon juice bitters and simple syrup with ice (add vanilla beans, optional). Shake well, double strain into highball glass filled with ice. Add ginger ale. Garnish with a brandy preserved fig, and a vanilla bean pod (for stirring purposes).
Enjoy!
