Ingredients

1 ripe fresh fig (plus extra for optional garnish)
½ tablespoon fig jam (optional but does add a little extra flavor and mouthfeel)
1 oz lemon juice
2 oz apple cider
½ tablespoon grated ginger
½ oz cinnamon syrup (can sub with a pinch of cinnamon powder, see Note 1)

Instructions

Slice the fig in quarters then add it to your shaker along with the cinnamon syrup, fig jam and lemon juice.
Muddle until the fig is ‘mashed’. Around 15-20 presses should be adequate.
Add the ginger and apple cider, along with some ice. Replace the lid and shake well.
Strain into your glass and garnish with a piece of fig (optional).

Notes

Note 1 (cinnamon): you can use a pinch of cinnamon powder instead of the cinnamon syrup, but add a squeeze (about ½ oz) of maple syrup if you do this to make up the sweetness from the cinnamon syrup.
