Instructions
Make the Batch Pitcher

- Whisk or stir thoroughly until the fig preserves dissolve and the mix looks smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.*No dilution is added because you will shake each cocktail with ice.

- Pour 3.5 to 4 ounces of the pitcher mix into the shaker.
- Shake until ice-cold and frothy.
- Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
