Cocktail Description
The Figgy French Fix might just be the most delicious reason to get your hands on some fresh figs this season.
This elegant cognac-based cocktail marries the rich, jammy sweetness of fresh figs with the warming complexity of Hennessy V.S. Cognac, all balanced by a touch of runny honey. When sipped, it offers a luscious mouthfeel with subtle fruit notes upfront that give way to the cognac's deeper oak and vanilla characteristics. Perfect for fall entertaining or as a sophisticated nightcap, this cocktail shines when served alongside a cheese board featuring aged Comté or a simple dark chocolate dessert. Despite its refined flavor profile, it's surprisingly straightforward to prepare—the trickiest part is simply finding perfectly ripe figs when they're in season. Served in an old-fashioned glass with a thin fig slice garnish, this amber-hued sipper looks as beautiful as it tastes.
