Fig Vanilla Whiskey Old Fashioned Batch
Course Drink
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Pitcher
  • Mixing Spoon
  • Lowball Glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces bourbon
  • 4 tablespoons fig preserves
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 12 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 4 orange twists, for garnish
  • Ice, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Add the bourbon, fig preserves, vanilla extract, and bitters to a pitcher.
  • Stir steadily for about one minute until the fig preserves break down and blend into the liquid.
  • Fill four lowball glasses with ice.
  • Divide the mixed cocktail evenly among the glasses.
  • Add one orange twist to each glass just before serving.

Notes

Stir the batch again right before pouring if it sits for more than 30 minutes, as the fig preserves can settle at the bottom. Use a bourbon with notes of caramel or oak to complement the vanilla without overpowering the fig.
