Instead of traditional gin, add bourbon infused with fig, pear, and natural vanilla to your Negroni. A whole bouquet of flavors and aromas awaits. The cocktail is strong, with a distinctive bitterness and an incredible finish. The bourbon is aged for at least two weeks, so plan ahead.

Ingredients:

• 4 and 1/4 cups bourbon
• 2 figs, thinly sliced
• 2 pears, thinly sliced
• 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped out
• 30 ml orange liqueur, such as Campari
• 30 ml sweet vermouth
• Orange slice, for garnish
