With winter slowly coming to a close and early spring temperatures just around the corner, we’re at a crossroads when it comes to drinks that might feel seasonal. The Glenlivet has just the recipe: a Balsamic Fig Fizz.
Jane Danger, national mixologist at Pernod Ricard, tells Appetito that the brand’s Balsamic Fig Fizz is meant to be a sweet and sour twist on the traditional whisky and champagne-based cocktail. And it’s quite pretty.
“The eccentric combination of balsamic vinegar and fig is a must-try for adventurous drinkers looking for an exciting new way to enjoy a scotch cocktail,” says Danger.
The scotch whisky brand shares its recipe for the sophisticated drink, which combines The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve and G.H. Mumm.
Oh, and don't let the infusion or fig jam syrup intimidate you. Follow the steps in the notes below the recipe and both ingredients for this cocktail come together easily.
