What You Need:

- 1/4 cup honey

- 1/4 cup filtered water

- 6 figs cut into quarters

- fresh sprig of thyme

- 1 cup champagne

- 1/2 cup high quality apple cider

- 1 ounce orange liquor

What To Do:

Step 1: To make the oh-so-delicious fig and thyme syrup, combine the honey, water and figs in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat and whisk consistently until the honey is melted and the figs begin to soften. 

Step 2: Add the thyme and let simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring often.

Step 3: Remove from heat and let the mixture sit for a few minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs from the honey mixture.

Step 4:  Use a food processor or immersion blender to blend the honey and figs into a smooth syrup.

Step 5: Combine the champagne, apple cider and orange liquor in a small pitcher. 

Step 6: Add two tablespoons of the fig syrup and stir. 

Step 7: Pour into two glasses and garnish with extra thyme and fig slices.

Step 8: ENJOY!

 

Of course, everything tastes best when sipped from personalized cups or glassware! Design a simple monogram rocks glass for your home bar, or create custom frost flex cups for an upcoming event. Cheers!
