Directions
The Pangu cocktail is a hymn to a great Italian product: grappa. But drinking smooth grappa is a titanic task. But we want a new, light and sumptuous aperitif and so we are going to flavor grappa with almonds and dried figs.
The process is very simple: buy the figs, slice them and throw them inside a bottle of oaked grappa. For 1 liter of grappa 7-8 figs are sufficient. Add 50 grams of almonds, 2 mint leaves, seal the bottle and let it rest for 3 days in a dark and cool place.
Remember to shake it every night before going to bed.
After 3 days, taste and if you like it, filter the grappa and put it in a clean bottle.
Figs under spirit are delicious when eaten with Greek yogurt, just saying. But let’s go to our Pangu cocktail.
