Local figs featured in cocktails, desserts and more in August
Austin, U.S.A. – 2012-08-08 — /travelprnews.com/ — Though perhaps lesser-known than other Texas produce, the fig has been around since the early days of the state. During the month of August, Four Seasons Hotel Austin features this sweet and healthy fruit – it’s naturally high in vitamins A, E and F – in various forms throughout the Hotel:
Roasted Texas Fig Pizza – A special add-on to the regular Lobby Lounge menu, this pizza combines roasted Texas figs, speck, Pure Luck goat cheese, arugula and Goodflow honey for a seriously delicious dinner or shareable appetizer – not that anyone will want to share! Available for USD 17.00 on the Lobby Lounge bar menu, or through In-Room Dining.
Gin “Figz” – Guests can combat the August heat with this ice-cold Texas martini featuring local Waterloo Gin, Paula’s Texas Orange, fresh lemon juice and house-made Texas fig marmalade jam. Topped off with a candied lemon wheel, this refreshing and not-too-sweet cocktail is available in the Lobby Lounge for USD 14.00.
Texas Goat Cheese Cheesecake – Available only on the 3 for USD 36.00 Dinner Menu in TRIO, the light-as-a-cloud Texas Goat Cheese Cheesecake is not your average dessert thanks to cheese handmade down the road in Dripping Springs and figs roasted to perfection in port wine.
Fig Shea Butter – Created exclusively for The Spa at Four SeasonsHotel Austin, La Natura’s Fig Shea Butter boasts a subtly sweet scent that relaxes and refreshes. Available as a USD 5.00 upgrade on any massage treatment, the Fig Shea Butter add-on will leave skin feeling hydrated and nourished and looking just as amazing as it feels.
