happy hour thursday...


The Fig Thyme served martini-style (isn't it pretty?!)

1 fig quartered, plus 1 extra for garnish
1/2 oz. thyme simple syrup (see below)
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
1 1/2 oz. pisco
1/4 oz. Cointreau
Sprig of thyme for garnish

In a mixing glass, muddle the quartered fig with the thyme syrup. Top with ice and add the lime juice, pisco, and Cointreau. Shake until cold. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the remaining quartered fig & a sprig of thyme.

Thyme Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water
5-6 thyme sprigs

In a saucepan, add the thyme to the sugar & water and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool, strain through a sieve, transfer to a bottle, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
