Hornet, the “shaw”-speaking, needle-wielding princess-warrior of Hallownest, finally takes center stage with the recently released Hollow Knight Silksong. We’ve all been waiting for this one, myself included, since I played through the original back in 2022 to prepare (RIP). To celebrate, the XBar has developed both a cocktail and a mocktail inspired by her royal heritage and her stinging namesake. Her cocktail, a sort of “Fig Stinger Royale”, uses fig-infused cognac to bridge the flavors of champagne and mint. The mocktail substitutes the alcoholic ingredients with alcohol-removed sparkling wine, a touch of spearmint, and a freshly clarified fig syrup. Why figs, you may ask? It’s a bug-eat-bug world out there, and certain species of figs require the sacrifice of a fig wasp to ripen.
