The After Midnight is a holiday cocktail that was created by author Jassy Davis and was first published in her book Winter Warmers: 60 Cosy Cocktails for Autumn & Winter. The original recipe called for mixing sparkling wine with crème de figue and aromatic bitters, but we used our homemade fig syrup in place of the liqueur and added in lemon juice for more balance.
Add gin, fig syrup, lemon juice, and bitters to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into a champagne glass.
Top with sparkling wine.
