Slightly weird, although my sherry is rather old, and I'm using a poor excuse for homemade amaretto. Very nice though, lingering evolution. Sweet almond underlain by the bitter sherry. It almost tastes like chocolate.

drinkingandthinking commented on 7/01/2019:

Odd flavor profile... strangely miny... Not bad, but I'm guessing this would taste very different depending on the specific spirits. I used Espolon anejo whiskey barrel aged tequila, Clement select barrel rhum, punt e mes, and Rothman & Winter apricot. I'm sure that a "real" vermouth would make it less bitter and more enjoyable. Also the tequila I used is kinda specific.

Not an easy drinker, intense and lovely piney drink, the cochi pairs very well with the Zirbenz.

Great sipper. The grapefruit informs the flavor profile nicely. Bracing yet delicious, a very nice combination.

Monsieur Big Thyme

3⁄4 oz Gin, The Botanist
3⁄4 oz Elderflower liqueur, Edinburgh Gin
1⁄2 oz Fleur de Thym, Bigallet
1⁄4 oz Honey syrup
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake over ice and strain into a chilled coupe

Notes

Herbal and floral, and overall very French tasting. The Bigallet Thyme liqueur is not as sweet as you'd expect, so the honey syrup helps sweeten and balance out the strong thyme flavor.

History

I tried this first with even parts gin, elderflower, thyme, lemon and it was way too thyme-y, like an over-seasoned beef stew. A thyme bomb, if you will. Cutting the liqueur with honey syrup helped but I'm still tweaking the proportions.
