Have you bought a bottle of our Whooping Frog Fig Gin and are looking for some fun cocktail inspo ?
We have spent some time curating the perfect tasting cocktails for our Fig Gin and we are so excited to share one with you now! The FIG BEES KNEES!
Fig Bees Knees
This DELICIOUS drink is sure to become a year round staple. After trying this you will know why they call it 'the bees knees'. The fig and Honey work in cohesion to create a sweet and warm flavour which isn't overpowering but is complimented by the zesty lemon to give it a zing, allowing it to embody a full flavour profile. Although this cocktail does require some preparation it is most definitely worth it.

For the Fig Honey Syrup:
1/2 cup Water
1/2 cup Honey
3 Fresh Figs, diced

2 ounces Whooping Frog Fig Gin
1 ounce Fresh Lemon Juice
