• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard the solids. Makes 5 to 6 1/2 ounces or enough for 6 to 8 cocktails (see Cook's Note).
• For the cocktail: Spread some salt in a small shallow bowl. Run 1 of the lime wheels around the rim of a rocks glass, then dip the rim into the salt to coat.
• Add the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, fig-honey syrup and pomegranate juice to a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until mixed and chilled, 20 to 30 seconds. Fill the prepared glass with ice and strain the cocktail into it. Garnish with the remaining lime wheel and fig half, pierced on a cocktail pick. Serve immediately.
