Fig No.7 Recipe

Prep

If using an egg white, separate and reserve 1/2 egg white (about 0.5 unit). Cut a fresh fig into a thin slice for garnish and set aside.

Add 2 oz dark rum, 0.5 oz fig liqueur (or fig syrup), 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.

If using egg white, add the 1/2 egg white to the shaker for a frothy texture.

Dry Shake

Seal the shaker and dry-shake vigorously (no ice) for 15–20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and integrate the ingredients. This creates a smooth foam.

Shake with Ice

Open the shaker, add ice (enough to fill the shaker), and shake hard for 10–15 seconds until well chilled (exterior becomes frosty).

Strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass over a large ice cube (or into a coupe for a neat serve if you prefer no ice). Use a fine strainer if you want a silky texture.

Float the fresh fig slice on the foam or rest it on the ice. Express a lime twist over the drink (squeeze to release oils) and drop it in.

Add 1 dash of Angostura bitters onto the foam (if present) for aroma and a decorative pattern. Serve immediately.
