Ingredients

  • 2 sprig Lemon thyme
  • 1 oz Tanqueray London Dry Gin
  • 3⁄4 oz Green Chartreuse
  • 1⁄4 oz Sugar syrup 'rich'

Method

Glassware:

Serve in a Martini glass

Method:

MUDDLE thyme in base of shaker. Add other ingredients, SHAKE with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.

History:

A combination of two very similar drinks, that both originally called for thyme infused gin. The first I discovered at The Lobby Bar (One Aldwych, London) and the other came from Tony Conigliaro at Isola, London, England.

Review:

A wonderfully fresh herbal Martini with the distinctive taste of Chartreuse. You'll either love it or hate it.
