I recently received a sample of Figenza in the mail and I am in love with it!  If the gorgeous packaging isn’t enough, upon opening the bottle the delightful aroma sucks you in.  You can already begin to imagine how sweet and fruity it will be.  In my first sampling I made the Figenza which is 3oz of Figenza fig vodka with a splash of club soda.  I’m excited to try other drink recipes but I had to do something simple first so I could really taste the vodka.  It is sweet but not overwhelming – I think part of the sweetness comes from breathing in the aroma when you take a sip.

Figenza is currently available in New York and New Jersey – I’m hoping we can get it at stores in the Chicago area soon.  For now it can be ordered online.

Figs are a good source of potassium and fiber and even have calcium!  Figs can help to lower blood pressure, aid in weight loss, promote bone density and more!  I’m not sure that consuming Figenza will give you these benefits but they’re just fun fig facts to know!
