Instructions

FIG & VANILLA BOURBON:

1. Combine vanilla beans and seeds (scraped), halved figs, and bourbon in a glass jar or container with a tight lid.
2. Let sit for 10-14 days in a cool dark place.
3. Strain with a fine mesh strainer into a clean glass container with a lid. Store in the freezer so it's always chilled.

FIG OLD FASHIONED:

1. In a mixing glass combine 2 ounces of the fig and vanilla-infused bourbon, 1/4 ounce simple syrup (or 1 sugar cube muddled with a splash of water), and 2 dashes of bitters.
2. Fill the mixing glass halfway with ice, then stir vigorously about a dozen times.
3. Strain into a chilled old-fashioned glass over a giant ice cube.
4. Squeeze orange peel over the glass to extract oils and wipe the rim of the glass with the peel. Garnish with a sliced dried fig, if desired.
