Makes 4 cocktails
INGREDIENTS
4 oz pear vodka
1 oz cranberry thyme syrup (see “Hot Herb Trends” for recipe)
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
five crushed fresh cranberries
PREPARATION
Paired with a special meal like Cornish game hens and baked with citrus and herbs, these dazzling holiday cocktails set the scene for the evening. In a shaker, mix 4 oz pear vodka, 1 oz cranberry thyme syrup (see “Hot Herb Trends” for recipe), 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, and five crushed fresh cranberries. Fill shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Pour champagne in four glasses so that they are ¾ full, strain the pear vodka mixture into the glasses, garnish drinks with a floating fresh cranberry, and a few leaves should fit through the strainer as well.
