Aromatic Smash

1 2⁄3 oz Light rum, Bacardi
1 oz Grapefruit juice
2⁄3 oz Lemon juice
2⁄3 oz Simple syrup (Thyme infused)
2 t Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
4 lf Thyme
1 sli Ginger
Instructions

Muddle a few leaves of fresh thyme and a roughly chopped up slice of ginger in a glass, add all other ingredients and shake over ice.

Double strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with some fresh thyme leaves.

Notes

Make the thyme infused simple syrup by mixing up a batch of 1:1 sugar:water at room temperature with five or six large sprigs of thyme in the mixture (fresher the better). After a few hours the sugar and water will have combined (without the need to heat it) and become infused with the flavour of the thyme. Remove stems and any leaves that have broken off, bottle and refrigerate.

Whoa! Sure do, thanks. This one is particularly delicious, yeah.

  • Good, but I might play around with the vermouth a bit -- perhaps swapping out the Cocchi for Carpano Antica.

Excellent. I also did this with rye instead of bourbon, on the rocks, finished with 3 drops of lemon juice. In a smaller shot format, would you call this Great Shott?

  • Made with jack daniels honey. Not bad, but a bit sweet for before dinner
  • Not having brandy, we made it with Hennessy cognac. Norm liked it very well. Dar thinks it's too sweet or, perhaps, unbalanced. Might try with higher ratio of brandy/cognac. — ★★★★

3 of my favourite ingredients combined. The honey comes through, definitely, backed up by the spices in the Becherovka. My wife thought it tasted of "Grandma's Cough Syrup" but I really liked this one. 5 stars.
