  • A weirdly large group of ingredients and a big drink. The result is complex and surprisingly herbal and bitter. The E and B are a stretch.
  • More interesting than a martini.

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.

1 t Amer Picon
1 t Gunpowder Rum, Smoke 'n Oakum's
1 t Maraschino Liqueur
1 t Bénédictine
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Stir, strain, coupe, twist

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.

Kindred Cocktails commented on 1/23/2015:

Curated to remove unneeded ingredient notes and add brand of bitters. Your instructions imply a stir-and-dump into an OF glass. Do you mean this to be strained?
