An Unusual Graft

1 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Tawny port
1⁄2 oz PInk grapefruit juice
1⁄2 oz Amaro Nonino
1⁄4 oz Donn's Spices #2
3⁄10 oz Fig syrup
2 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Black Walnut
Instructions

Shake all with ice, coupé. Drop the bitters on top.

Notes

A drier gin is best, but not a particularly juniper-y one. I used St. George Dry Rye.

For the fig syrup, I use 50:50 hot water and fig preserves (Trader Joe's has a good one). Miele di fichi would also work well here.

History

I was curious about fig and grapefruit together.

  • Made the 1st time with Fees Bros bitters and a very strong salt solution. 2nd time will try scrappys and to back off on the salt
  • very good!
  • Used fennel bitters. The rye is a little odd in this, adding peanutty flavors to an herbaceous drink. Interesting.
  • Every bit as magical as the name implies.

That's what the source says too, so I've curated to correct. Thanks @yarm!

What a fascinating drink! There's a lot going on, but it all works and somehow I can still taste the celery (used my own home-made bitters). Highly recommended.
