Fig and Walnut Julep

Muddle the Black Mission figs, tawny port, simple syrup, and fresh lime juice in a mixing glass or shaker until you achieve a smooth paste.

Add the mint leaves, bourbon, and elderflower liqueur to the mixture.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 8–10 seconds.

Strain the mixture over fresh ice in an Old Fashioned glass.

Garnish your cocktail with two slices of fresh fig and a sprig of mint.

Finish by grating some walnut over the top for an aromatic touch.
