Thyme for a Midori Gin Fizz

This cocktail is a refreshing twist on a classic gin fizz, with the addition of Midori for a unique melon flavor and thyme for an earthy and herbaceous note. Here's how to make it: Ingredients: - 2 oz gin - 1 oz Midori - 1 oz fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz thyme simple syrup* - 1 egg white - fresh thyme sprig, for garnish Directions: 1. In a shaker, combine gin, Midori, lemon juice, thyme simple syrup, and egg white. 2. Dry shake (without ice) for about 10 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for another 10-15 seconds. 4. Strain into a tall glass with ice. 5. Garnish with a fresh thyme sprig and enjoy! *To make thyme simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, and a handful of fresh thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer and stir until sugar dissolves. Let cool and strain out thyme sprigs. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
