ingredients
steps
- Shake all ingredients and double strain into a chilled coupe glass.
- Garnish with a lime wheel.
*For fig-infused rum: Combine one liter of your preferred rum (Megan uses Plantation 3-Star) and 2 cups of sliced dried figs. Allow the mixture to macerate for 1-2 weeks, and then strain off the solids. The resulting infusion should be shelf stable, but it is recommended to keep it refrigerated. The infused figs can be repurposed for a delicious rummy spread with some baguette and soft cheese.
