The Story Behind The Fig Leaf Blower

In this fruit-forward cocktail created by bartender Zach Alvey of Kansas City’s Chartreuse Saloon, fig and plum liqueurs fuse with orange-infused whiskey, for a drink that’s bright and fragrant, and still perfect for winter.

On chillier nights, skip the ice and serve this cocktail warm for a more complex take on a Hot Toddy.
