This cocktail won a best cocktail award at thefiftybest.com, and is one of our personal favorites.

The prominent fig and anise flavors of Mahia pair very well with rich, vanilla-y bourbon, as do fresh figs, which just so happen to be in season.

Dot with bitters and garnish with orange zest.

We could’ve called this a “Moroccan Mojito,” but we restrained ourselves.

When we think about Mediterranean fruit, figs immediately come to mind, but pomegranate isn’t far behind.

A classic old fashioned, where fig martini meets bourbon.

The apples and figs become the sweet detail to a peppery base. A great way to start the meal.

This ginger and chamomile iced tea is a wonderful way to finish a meal and relax.

Stir top with ginger ale.
