About this recipe
Fig and Maple Bourbon Fizz Thermomix TM7 is the cocktail recipe your home bar has been waiting for. Fresh figs are blended into a velvety purée by the all-in-one kitchen machine, then combined with pure maple syrup, a measure of bourbon, a splash of lemon juice and a few dashes of Angostura bitters before being topped with chilled ginger beer. The result is a drink with remarkable depth: honeyed fig sweetness, smoky bourbon warmth and a lively spicy sparkle. What makes this recipe work so well in the TM7 is consistency — the blades reduce even the ripest, stickiest figs to a completely smooth base without a single lump, something a hand blender rarely achieves. Ideal as an autumn aperitif, a festive party opener or a slow Friday evening treat, it turns five minutes of preparation into something that tastes professionally mixed.

Preparation tips
- Choose figs that are soft to the touch but not split open; overripe figs make the purée watery, while firm ones stay fibrous. Halve them before adding to the mixing bowl so the blades catch every piece immediately.
- Taste the fig and maple base before adding the bourbon: figs vary greatly in sweetness, and a squeeze more lemon often balances the maple syrup beautifully.
- Chill the bourbon, lemon juice and ginger beer thoroughly beforehand. A cold base means the ice cubes dilute more slowly, keeping the fizzy sparkle of the ginger beer intact until the last sip.
Recipe variations
- Alcohol-free version: omit the bourbon and increase the ginger beer and lemon juice slightly. The fig-maple purée with bitters still delivers complexity, making a refined mocktail everyone can enjoy.
- Autumn festive variant: add a tiny pinch of ground cinnamon or star anise to the fig purée and garnish with a caramelised fig half on the rim for an impressive dinner-party presentation.
