Fresh thyme sprigs infused in simple syrup and shaken with Citron Vodka and Limoncello…What could be better?
2 cups water
2 cups granulated sugar
zest of 1 lemon
12 fresh thyme sprigs
1/2 cup lemon-flavored vodka
1/4 cup Limoncello
To make the herb-simple syrup for the martini, combine the water, sugar and lemon zest in a saucepot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stir to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat. Add the thyme to the hot simple syrup and allow it to steep while for 1 hour to infuse the herb flavor. Strain the mixture and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
In a martini shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, Limoncello and 4 tablespoons of the herb-syrup.
Shake well and strain into 4 chilled martini glasses.
