Any experience making fig liqueur? I've successfully made a black raspberry liqueur, and am doing a similar process now with fresh figs. Has anybody done that? What have your experiences been?

Recipe:


1.5 cups vodka (I'm using Tito's)
1.5 - 2 cups fig puree


Combine figs and vodka, shake well, store in refrigerator. Shake daily, after 2-3 weeks strain well, and add simple syrup to taste.
Fig liqueur completed after 4 weeks.  Here are notes:


A lot more work than I expected it would be to strain out the liquid.
Next time I'll use a food processor instead of making the base puree
by hand. 
It's much darker than I expected 
The taste is nice, a little tannic on the finish. 
I've successfully used it in a Collins-type cocktail - in a rocks glass, add:


2 ounces fig liqueur, chilled
1.5 tbsp simple syrup 
juice of 1 lime wedge 
sparkling water to top
