Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine sage, water and sugar. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Frequently stir to help dissolve sugar.

Step 2

Once the mixture simmers and the sugar dissolves, turn off heat, allow the sage to steep for at least 30 minutes and strain. Chill and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for several weeks.

Step 3

Muddle the figs in a cocktail shaker with the sage simple syrup until they mostly break down.

Step 4

Add white rum, orange liqueur, lemon juice and ice to the cocktail shaker.

Step 5

Put on the top of the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 15 to 30 seconds.

Step 6

Strain into ice-filled glasses and top with club soda. Enjoy!
