Outdoor Dreams' Cocktail Hour: Gettin' Figgy Wit It

Story Highlights

We have partnered with Beth Dixon of Salt & Acid to bring you the Outdoor Dreams' Cocktail Hour. Beth has been in the restaurant industry for over 19 years, working at many of Richmond's finest restaurants including Can Can, Pasture, Perch, and L'Opossum. She also currently serves as President for the Richmond, VA chapter of the United States Bartenders’ Guild. Her company Salt & Acid provides professional bartending services for private events, special occasions, and beverage consulting.

For our first cocktail, in honor of Fathers' Day, we have chosen a refreshing recipe for the bourbon-loving dads out there. This delicious drink highlights the bourbon flavor by balancing it with a bitter-sweet combination of Amaro, lemon juice, and fig syrup. Beth says "I love figs and bourbon together, they pair so well with the vanilla and spice notes of the Whiskey. The addition of amaro adds depth and the lemon makes this cocktail work year round." We agree - this refreshing cocktail is absolutely perfect for a summer evening by the pool. For this first Cocktail Hour with Outdoor Dreams, we present "Gettin' Figgy Wit It."
