Fig Mocktail

This easy Fig Mocktail recipe is perfect for sipping on a crisp autumn evening or serving at your next gathering.

I’m a big fan of simple mocktails that are quick to make but still packed with flavor. This fig mocktail is a perfect example. I use my homemade fig syrup, which you can prepare in advance and keep in the fridge. Whenever you’re craving a mocktail, just grab the syrup and you’ll have a delicious drink ready in minutes – it’s way better than your average juice and soda mix!

Ingredients:

For 1 Fig Mocktail:

  • 1/3 cup Fig syrup
  • 1/3 cup Perrier Peach (or any unsweetened peach flavored sparkling water)

For the homemade Fig Syrup:

  • 2 cups quartered fresh figs
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cups raw sugar
  • 1 sprig Fresh Thyme
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

How to make a Fig Mocktail:

Fill a glass with ice and pour 1/3 cup of the fig syrup into the cup. Top with the peach sparkling water and a fresh fig garnish.

How to make the homemade fig syrup for the fig mocktail:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the quartered figs, thyme, water, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
  • Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the figs are very soft. Mash the figs with a potato masher or the back of a spoon to help release their juices.
  • Set a fine-mesh sieve over a heat-safe bowl or jar. Carefully pour the fig mixture into the sieve, allowing the syrup to strain through. Use a spoon or spatula to press on the solids to extract as much syrup as possible.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Let the syrup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store the fig syrup in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or use immediately to make a fresh Fig Mocktail
