How do I make it?
- Make the Simple Syrup by adding all ingredients to a small saucepan and bringing to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently until the figs and raspberries break down. Remove from heat and leave to cool, then strain using a fine mesh strainer or a piece of muslin.
- To make the cocktail add Fig and Raspberry Simple Syrup and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously and then pour into ice filled glasses. Top with soda water and garnish with figs.
- This recipe will make enough simple syrup for 15-20 cocktails. Store any leftover syrup in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.
