FIG SUPREME
Salvatore Calabrese, 2015
The delicate flavour of fresh figs – my favourite summer fruit – combines well with the aged tequila. Its extra time in the cask provides a superb underlying woody taste.
1 2/3 oz / 5 cl 100 percent agave añejo tequila
2/3 oz / 2 cl fresh lime juice
1/2 oz / 1.5 cl Grand Marnier
Dash grenadine
2 ripe figs
