  2. Muddle 3 figs in a cocktail shaker. Add rum, lemon juice, and honey, stir until honey dissolves. Fill shaker halfway with ice. Cover and shake until well chilled.

  3. Divide between glasses, without straining, and top with club soda. Slap thyme sprigs against a flat surface to bruise. Garnish each glass with a fig half and a thyme sprig.

Recipe Yield

2 cocktails

Recipe Note

A hint of thyme adds an earthiness that balances the sweetness of the figs and the rum in this pretty, easy-sipping cocktail. To keep it from tasting medicinal, I use the thyme only as a fragrant garnish.
