Black Fig Manhattan
By Nathan Robinson
Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Strain into a chilled coupe. Express and discard an orange peel.
Fig-infused bourbon: Chop a half cup each of dried stemmed Turkish Calimyrna and Mission figs and combine them with 375 ml of bourbon in a mason jar. Shake well and store them in a dry, dark place at room temperature. Shake once a day for five days. Strain in a fine mesh strainer and optionally again with cheesecloth. Store in a clean bottle.
