TOASTED THYME LAST WORD COCKTAIL
(Makes one cocktail)
By: Kathy Casey
For a warm, rich flavor, I like to flame fresh thyme with Green Chartreuse in the mixing glass before building the cocktail.
1-2 sprigs fresh thyme
Green Chartreuse in a spritzer
¾ oz. Green Chartreuse
¾ oz. Aviation Gin
¾ oz. Luxardo
¾ oz. fresh lime juice
Garnish: Amarena cherry on pick and/or fresh thyme sprig
Directions:Place one or two sprigs thyme into a tempered mixing/pint glass. Holding a lighter near (but not over) the glass, spritz the thyme with Green Chartreuse to ignite. (Be very careful doing this! ) Once the thyme is lightly toasted, add a few ice cubes to put the flame out.
Measure ¾ ounce Chartreuse, gin, Luxardo and lime juice into a mixing glass, then fill with ice. Cap and shake. Strain cocktail into a martini or coupe glass and garnish with amarena cherry and/or fresh thyme.
