If simplicity is the name of your game, this cocktail from John Brown’s Underground in Lawrence, Kansas, is a figgy dream come true. Blending bourbon with a small measure of fig jam is an easy way to turn a spirit into a cocktail. Topped off with aromatic Angostura and orange bitters, which bring out the fruity and spiced notes in both the whiskey and the jam, it’s the ideal, simple drink to make when you’re hanging with, you know, just friends.
