The Old Fashion is believed to be the first drink to be labeled a “Cocktail”. The fig and orange flavors in this drink compliment the bourbon while the fig balsamic serves to deepen and round out the taste in this classic cocktail.
Directions: Remove the fig stem and cut the dried fig into quarters. Put the fig pieces in the bottom of a cocktail, shaker and add the brown sugar. Muddle the two together until it becomes a paste.
Add the bourbon, orange juice, More Than Olives Fig Balsamic, orange bitters, and a small sprig of rosemary. Place the cover on the shaker and shake to mix the ingredients together.
Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into an ice-filled highball glass. Garnish the side of the glass with a slice of fresh orange.
