Spiced Fig Cocktail
featured in Our Favorite Fall Cocktails
We took one of summer’s best cocktails and turned it into a fall-inspired margarita. First, we make a cheater’s simple syrup by melting together fig jam, cinnamon, and water. Then, we shake it up with fresh lemon juice and tequila. Lastly, we coat the rim of the glass with cinnamon sugar for a sweet and spiced finish.

Preparation
- Rub the lemon wedge around the rim of the glass. Add the cinnamon sugar to a shallow bowl, then dip the rim of the glass in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, stir together the fig jam, water, and cinnamon. Microwave for 15–20 seconds, until melted and warmed through.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the fig syrup, lemon juice, and tequila. Shake vigorously for about 10 seconds, until well combined, then add the ice and shake for 10 seconds more, or until the shaker is very cold to the touch.
- Add more ice to the prepared glass, then strain the cocktail into the glass. Garnish with the cinnamon stick.
- Enjoy!
