fresh fig margarita

Fresh Fig Margarita

If you don’t know by now… I love MARGARITA’S! And I am always trying to play around with making a fruit margarita. I tend to find they have to be sweeter, so haven’t really found a great fresh fruit marg without adding too much extra and having a super sweet drink. Until now!!

This is bright and super refreshing. I choose to make the fig simple syrup the day before. If you let sugar and fruit set together overnight, the sugar ends up infusing the sugar with the fruit flavor. But you can definitely just make a day of simple syrup.

My husband actually looked at me with a “eww” face when I asked if he would like me to make him a fig margarita. Then, per usual, he did appease me and at lease try my drink. Which, he found to be quite delicious!

It’s fig season, go get a whole bunch, I get mine from Trader Joe’s. Eat them raw of course, but don’t forget to make a margarita!

Don’t forget to comment, tag and follow me!! ~ Jeanne
