  • ½

TOTAL TIME

5 minutes

2 servings

Fall in a glass, with bubbles. 
Ripe figs and golden honey bring the warmth, fresh lemon keeps it bright, and Gratsi Sparkling lifts it all. It’s cozy and elevated without becoming overly sweet, made for crisp afternoons, long conversations, and the first sweater of the season.

STEP 1

Add the fig, honey syrup, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Gently muddle the fig until it releases its juices.

A hand holds two fig halves over an empty textured glass, with wine bottles, a lit candle, and a bowl of lemons and figs nearby on a wooden surface. A hand squeezes a lemon wedge into a textured glass, with wine bottles, a lit candle, and fresh figs nearby. A hand drizzles honey from a wooden spoon into a textured glass, with two bottles of Gratsi wine, a bowl of lemons and figs, and a lit candle nearby.

STEP 2

Add ice and shake for about 10 seconds.
Double-strain into a glass filled with fresh ice. 

A hand uses a metal muddler to crush figs inside a patterned glass, with two wine bottles, a lit candle, and a bowl of fresh figs nearby. A hand places a metal cap onto a glass cocktail shaker filled with ice, next to wine bottles, a lit candle, and a bowl of figs and lemons. A hand pours a pink cocktail from a glass shaker into a ribbed glass filled with ice, set on a wooden surface with bottles of rosé, lemons, figs, and a lit candle.

STEP 3

Top with 4 oz Sparkling White Wine. Give it one gentle stir.

A clear liquid is poured from a bottle into a glass containing a pink drink with ice, with two wine bottles, a lit candle, and fresh figs nearby on a wooden surface. A hand garnishes a glass of iced cocktail with a fresh fig slice, positioned in front of two Gratsi wine bottles, a lit candle, and a bowl of fruit. A hand places a sprig of rosemary into a glass of pink cocktail filled with ice, set next to two wine bottles, a lit candle, and a bowl of fresh figs and lemons.

STEP 4

Garnish with half a fresh fig and a sprig of thyme or rosemary.

Two glasses of pink cocktails garnished with rosemary sprigs and fig slices, sitting on a wooden surface near bottles and a lit candle. A glass of pink cocktail garnished with a fig slice and rosemary, beside two Gratsi wine bottles, a bowl of lemons and figs, and a lit candle.
