This cocktail is not just a drink; it’s a homage to Caravaggio’s "Basket of Fruit”. Each sip is like a brushstroke, lending the rich, dark sweetness of figs with the tartness of pomegranate, all grounded by Wheyskey’s warmth. The egg white adds a smooth, painterly texture, reminiscent of the way light plays across Caravaggio’s fruits.
2 oz Wheyward Wheyskey
¾ oz Fig Syrup (from Liber & Co.)
¼ oz Grenadine
½ oz Lemon Juice
1 dash Angostura Bitters
1 Egg White
2 oz. Ginger Beer (from Fever-Tree)
Combine Wheyskey, Fig Syrup, grenadine, egg white, and Angostura bitters in a shaker. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously to emulsify the egg white. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled. Double Strain into a highball glass. Tap the glass twice and wait for 15 seconds to allow the foam to settle. Gently top it off with ginger beer to create a beautiful layered effect. Garnish with three drops of Angostura bitters.

Pop the champagne! It’s time for a Wheyward Spirit twist on this celebratory classic. This sweet, citrusy, and bubbly drink is a favorite for brunch, easy to make, and perfect for any special occasion. The use of Wheyward Spirit helps cut the sugar in half from a classic French 75 and brings out the beautiful clover honey notes in the sparkling wine.
