Ingredients
1
1 servings
- •1 cup water
- •2 cups granulated sugar
- •¾ oz grenadine
- •1 oz blue curaçao
- •½ oz rich simple syrup
- •1 ½ oz gin
- •¾ oz fresh lemon juice
- •1 cup crushed ice
- •1 small bunch fresh thyme, plus 2 sprigs, for garnish, divided
- •¼ teaspoon pink peppercorn, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the rich simple syrup: Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Transfer to a glass jar and let cool. The syrup will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Make the cocktail: Add the grenadine, blue curacao, rich simple syrup, gin, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker and fill with ½ cup (70 G) ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds, until combined.
- Carefully light the bunch of thyme on fire with a kitchen torch. Blow out the flame and invert a highball glass over the thyme to capture the smoke. Let sit for 30 seconds.
- Fill the glass with the remaining ½ cup ice, strain the cocktail into the glass, and garnish with the remaining 2 sprigs of thyme and the pink peppercorns.
- Enjoy!
