Nomad's Nectar

Fig, Vanilla, Cardamom

Mission figs get their name from Franciscan missionaries, who carried fig cuttings to California in the 18th century. Cardamom traveled even further, moving along overland trade routes from Sri Lanka as early as the 12th century. Vanilla made a similarly long journey — native to Mexico, it wasn't grown successfully outside the Americas until French growers brought it to Madagascar in the 19th century, where most of the world's vanilla is still farmed today.

Nomads' Nectar brings these three well-traveled ingredients together, turning plain vodka into something closer to a dessert liqueur. Dried figs carry less water than fresh, so the infusion stays concentrated rather than diluted.

Next, let's make something delicious!

Inside the Porthole:
  • 185g dried mission figs
  • 12 cardamom pods
  • 2 whole vanilla beans, split
Liquid to be Added:
  • 7 oz (210 ml) vodka
To Assemble and Serve:

Arrange the infusion ingredients inside the Porthole. Close the Porthole, tighten screw, and check the seal for good contact on both sides.

Add vodka into the assembled Porthole through the spout.

This cocktail is best when infused at least 24 hours, and can be enjoyed for up to a few weeks.

Tips:
  • Enjoy this infusion directly over ice, or added to sparkling water. 
  • Combine it with other spirits (aged rums, bourbons, ryes) to add depth and complexity to your favorite cocktail.
