The weather this week has been displaying a slight barometric change so we turn to this Carob Ginger Fig Cocktail recipe to welcome this event! Spring is finally kicking in in the United States while Autumn is in full swing in Australia. The spicy-sweet ginger-fig tandem rounds out the exceptionally silky and smooth profile of vodka. A squeeze of lemon, a hint of date and carob syrup. Think citrusy and refreshing. We figured, it is probably the perfect cocktail to cozy up and welcome the slightly cooler days ahead.
