Episode 34: Kleiner Feigling

Episode 34 features a spirit that surprised me and brought me joy! Kleiner Feigling fig liqueur. Sold in small 20 ml bottles at 20% ABV or 40 Proof, they're meant for enjoying in social settings, and being sold in multipacks, you're encouraged to drink more than one.

Thanks to Niche Import Co. for providing the spirits for the tasting!

Key Cocktails:

Kleiner Feigling is a party shot! As such, you drink it straight from the bottle.

There is a recommended ritual to drinking it:

Tap the top on a table or the bar

Unscrew the cap and place it on the tip of your nose

Drink the shot down

Repeat!
