APPLE & THYME
Ingredients
* Ice
* 10 ounces vodka
* 6 ounces apple juice
* 1/4 cup thyme syrup, recipe follows
* 1 large apple, peeled
* 4 fresh thyme sprigs
Directions
Special equipment: melon baller
Chill the martini glasses.
Fill the shaker with ice. Combine the vodka, apple juice, and thyme syrup in a martini shaker. Shake for about 10 seconds. Divide between the 4 chilled martini glasses.
Use the melon baller to scoop out small balls of apple. Place 3 balls of apple and 1 sprig of thyme in each glass for garnish. Serve immediately.
Thyme Simple Syrup:
* 1 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup water
* 5 large sprigs fresh thyme
In a saucepan combine sugar, water, and thyme over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and cool the syrup. Any extra cooled syrup can be saved in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Yield: 1 cup
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
