Not technically a martini but served up like one. Stirred, strained, served in a coupe.
Ingredients
— 🥃 THE BUILD
— 2 oz bourbon or rye
— 1/2 oz fig syrup
— 2 dashes Angostura bitters
— 1 dash orange bitters
— Orange twist
Prep
— Chill a coupe glass.
— Fill a mixing glass with ice.
Method
— Combine bourbon, fig syrup, and both bitters in the mixing glass.
— Stir for 30 seconds — this is a stirred drink, not shaken.
— Strain into the chilled coupe.
— Express a wide orange twist over the drink and rest it on the rim.
Chef's Note: Rye whiskey gives a spicier result that works beautifully with fig. Bourbon is richer and slightly sweeter. Try both.
