Prepare the honey syrup: In a small saucepan, combine equal parts honey and water. Heat gently, stirring until the honey is fully dissolved into the water. Let it cool to room temperature.
Rim the glass (optional): Run a lime wedge around the rim of your margarita glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat.
Muddle the fig: In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh fig quarters and muddle them until they release their juices.
Add the liquids: Into the shaker, pour in the tequila, lime juice, honey syrup, and orange liqueur. Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake it up: Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
Strain and serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
Garnish: Add a lime wedge and a slice of fig to the edge of the glass for a polished finish.
Enjoy: Take a moment to admire your handiwork before taking your first refreshing sip!
