The Notorious F.I.G.: A Fig Negroni

 We sampled a deliciousFig Negroni on a recent visit to Boston and I was determined to recreate it -found this recipe from IMBIBE magazine. Remember that there is 1-2 week lead time to fig-infuse your vermouth - but it is worth the wait!!

Amp up the jamminess of the sweet vermouth in this fig Negroni from Little Mama’s Italian in Charlotte, North Carolina.
