The Fig Apple

• 2.0 oz. Laird’s Bonded apple brandy
• 0.75 oz. blackberry liqueur
• 0 25 oz. fig arrak
• 2 dashes Crude orange & fig bitters

Stir with ice and strain into coupe. Express orange peel over drink, then discard. Garnish with an apple slice.

I’m going through my stores and trying to work through some bottles I’ve had for a while but not really used. Enter the fig arrak and blackberry liqueur. I started with rye but as the name came to me I switched the base to apple. Ideally it would be NY based, but I had NJ on hand. Fuggedaboutit.
