Toast the seasons with this tasty tequila cocktail.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces Don Julio añejo tequila
  • 1/2 ounce orange juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 ounce fig preserves
  • 5 fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1/2 ounce ginger syrup*
  • Garnish: rosemary sprig

Steps

  1. In a shaker, muddle all ingredients except the tequila.

  2. Add the tequila and ice and shake until well-chilled.

  3. Strain into a highball glass or stemless Champagne flute.

  4. Garnish with a rosemary sprig.

*Ginger syrup: Bring 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Add 1 cup sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Place 1 2-inch piece of ginger (finely chopped) in a mesh strainer and pour mixture over top. Press ginger with a muddler or back of a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible.
