Happily Ever After

So, in a cocktail shaker, I muddled the hell out of 3 figs, added juice from 1 key lime, juice and orange peel from a quarter of an orange, added 2 ounces of brandy and topped it with ice.  I shook it vigorously and poured the entire mixture into a fig rimmed glass.  I thought the fig paired well with the brandy and the acid from the lime helped cut through some of the sweetness.  The orange added depth and fragrance/aromatics.  Overall, the flavor was a success.  I would improve upon this drink, by juicing figs next time.  Because I muddled the figs, the drink came out too pulpy.  I like pulp - just not in my cocktail.  I’ll try making this drink again (with said modifications) real soon.  Stay tuned.
