Apple Thyme Martini
Ingredients
- 4 oz filtered apple cider
- 1 oz Honey Ginger Thyme White Balsamic Reduction
- 4 tsp lemon juice
- 4 oz vodka
- 6 dashes Black Walnut Bitters
- 1 tbsp egg whites
Honey Ginger Thyme White Balsamic Reduction
- ½ cup Honey Ginger White Balsamic
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Honey Ginger Thyme White Balsamic Reduction: For reduction, in a small sauce pan, bring ½ cup Honey Ginger White Balsamic to a simmer over medium low heat with thyme sprigs. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until mixture has reduced by half and is syrupy. Remove from heat and store in a mason jar in the fridge to cool. Keeps for 2 weeks.
- In a cocktail shaker, fill with ice, then add remaining ingredients. Shake for 20-30 seconds, strain into two martini glasses or coupe glasses, topping with foam remaining in cocktail shaker. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
Notes
Balsamic reductions go a long way to intensifying cocktails and as a final drizzle to a dish. Simply reduce in a nonstick pan until just before it reaches your desired consistency and store in the fridge for 1 week. Can be reheated and thinned out with more balsamic if you take it too far - easy peasy!
