Ingredients

Scale

For the Cocktail

  • 4oz vanilla fig syrup (See below)
  • 4oz or 10 slings of Black Seal Rum (151 Proof)

For the Vanilla Fig Syrup

  • 2 cups diced fresh figs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

For the Cocktail

  1. In your mixing glass, add the syrup and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
  2. Evenly pour into 2 coupe glasses.
  3. Using a barspoon, pour 2oz of the rum into each glass.
  4. Now, light the cocktail on fire. Sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar on the flame for some excitement! Make sure to blow out the flame before enjoying!

For the Vanilla Simple Syrup

  1. Dice the figs into small pieces and add them to a medium saucepan.
  2. Add in brown sugar, vanilla, and water. Stir to combine and muddle the figs.
  3. Cook on medium-high until a boil is reached. Then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Stir regularly to make sure the figs don’t stick.
  4. Remove from heat. Once the syrup has thickened, strain through a mesh strainer to get all of the juice. Store covered in refrigerator for about a week.
