Curated to list Mahia by Nahmias et Fils as a brand and change ingredient above from "fig" to fig liqueur. Fig liqueur was already listed as an ingredient but with the same specs as a creme de figue (low proof, sweet.) I have modified the listing for fig liqueur to be 80 proof, only moderately sweet, and including some herbal.
The cocktail itself is brilliant. I used my own pomegranate grenadine syrup (had some particularly dark and intense aryls for this batch) and a fresh lime off the tree. The pomegranate was a great pairing with the fig which can be a bit intense if not properly mated. The Strega provides some slight mint/alpine herbal and bolsters the anise in the Mahia. The bitters provide a slight chili heat to the finish.
