Wow. This is a great treat and one I crave each fall. It's a little sweet for my taste but it's so unexpected it deserves a 5. It's early summer where I live and for our next cooking club the theme is herbs - my girlfriend has already requested I make these. I think the thyme sprig is a must. Thanks Giada

I usually love cocktails with fresh fruits/herbs - strawberry & basil go so well together. My husband hated it & I just thought it was ok. I was hoping it would turn out better but it was very sweet & tasted a bit like sherry - oh well, what a shame I wasted my vodka. My friend wasn't a huge fan of it either, so most of it went to waste.

A not too sweet, but sweet martini. I thought, what also goes well with thyme? and I thought LEMON, so on our second batch we tweaked it with a citron vodka and a dash of fresh lemon. Really enjoyed this "fall-ish martini".
