Tips & Notes
For best results, use ripe but firm figs that hold their shape during muddling; overripe figs can become too pulpy.

Use quality fresh thyme to impart a gentle herbaceous fragrance. double straining after shaking eliminates unwanted fig bits and leaves, resulting in a clean, impressive presentation.
