Thyme Cocktail

1 1⁄2 oz Pear eau de vie
1⁄2 oz Cinnamon syrup
1⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3 spg Thyme
Instructions

Muddle thyme leaves in a shaker tin with lemon juice and syrup. Add eau de vie, shake with ice. Double strain in a cocktail glass. Garnish with a pear slice and thyme sprig.

Notes

Tested with homemade cinnamon-infused simple syrup, not too sweet (equal parts of sugar and water). Add more juice if a syrup is very sweet.
Use fresh thyme only.
Plain vodka will work here too but with less effect.

Notes

Gunpowder Rum is hard to fake, but in the quantity required for this drink you'd probably get away with Smith & Cross. The Hawthorn Lounge prepares batches of the four minor ingredients to make them easier to handle.
