One in all our very favourite cocktail classes can also be one of many easiest. Simply three predominant substances – sugar, contemporary lime and spirits – create a number of the tastiest cocktails round! We’re all the time shocked that such nice cocktails might be really easy, and so good.

Gimlets are a major instance of an all-star cocktail comprised of sugar, lime and spirits. A traditional Gin Gimlet could be fantastic with the addition of our Thyme Cocktail Spice, however the simplicity and stability of the drink offers such a scrumptious base for experimentation that we couldn’t resist mixing it up a bit.

As an alternative of gin for this Thyme Gimlet recipe, we used Aquavit, and we love the best way that the thyme pairs with Aquavit’s distinctive caraway taste. Aquavit is a historically Northern European spirit that you can imagine as just like gin, however with botanicals like caraway, dill, citrus, vanilla, juniper, coriander and star anise. On this Gimlet, the sugar softens the sturdy citrus edge, the Aquavit provides complexity, and the thyme contributes a contemporary, earthy, virtually minty taste. For much more pretty aromatics, you possibly can float a number of drops of the Thyme tincture on prime of your completed drink.
