Refreshing

Seasonal

This one encompasses all of those Fall flavors from caramel to nutty to candied orange. And as a nod to the late blooming fall flowers (asters, mums, etc.), there's a hint of floral in the background from the elderflower liqueur and Fig & Poppies bitters.

Combine ingredients except the bitters in a shaker. Add ice. Shake to chill and strain into a lowball glass over a fresh cube of ice. Add bitters. Garnish with mint and fig.

Editor's Note

Fig orgeat and tawny port anchor this bourbon sour in deep, autumnal warmth. Elderflower and dual bitters provide a floral, nutty finish that lingers.
