1 1⁄2 oz Rye, Rittenhouse
3⁄4 oz Brucato Woodlands Amaro (1 oz provides more fig flavor)
3⁄4 oz Maurin Quina
1 Fig (dried mission fig for optional garnish)
1 Brandied cherry (for optional garnish, plus smoked gouda)
Instructions
Stir with ice, strain into cocktail glass. Optional garnish with cocktail skewer of dried mission fig, smoked gouda cheese, and Luxardo cherry.
Notes
The garnish is optional, but a small piece of smoked gouda enhances the fig aroma in the drink. A brandied cherry works well with or without the cheese, and a dried mission fig opposite the cherry can complete the presentation.
The Brucato Woodlands has a pleasant fig character that works well in a black Manhattan/boulevardier fusion. The cherry in the wine based Maurin quina complements the fig.
History
The combination of cherry and fig made "charitable" pop into my head. I thought of a friend and local philanthropist and arrived at the name.
