Thyme For a Vodka Gimlet | John Cusimano

Food & Fun - By John Cusimano on

In honor of Rach's sister Maria being on the show, John made these thyme-infused gimlets to pair with a special meal Rach prepared—Ria's Chicken Croquettes, which were Maria's favorite growing up.  

For dessert, try making Maria's recipe for one of her favorite desserts: a Floating Island.

Ingredients
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • ¾ ounce simple syrup
Preparation

Muddle thyme in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.  Add remaining ingredients, shake with ice, and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with thyme sprig. 

Always drink responsibly.
