Honey Fig Gin and Tonic

Name: Honey Fig Gin and Tonic
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: Fresh figs. Look for them at artisan grocery stores, your local food Co-Op, or Trader Joe's from late summer through mid-fall. Dried figs will not work.; Water; Honey. I love the flavor that honey adds to this drink. However, you can make the simple syrup using granulated sugar instead of honey for a vegan version.; Gin. I love Barr Hill Gin from Vermont (and it's especially appropriate here, since it's made from honey!).; Tonic water . I recommend using a low-sugar variety because you're already adding sweetness through the simple syrup. I love the "Refreshingly Light" tonic from Fever Tree.; Fresh thyme . I like to garnish this honey cocktail with fresh thyme for a fall feel and because the smell is so beautiful. You can omit it if you don't have thyme on-hand though.
