Ingredients

  • Ice
  • 10 ounces vodka
  • 6 ounces apple juice
  • 1/4 cup thyme syrup, recipe follows
  • 1 large apple, peeled
  • 4 fresh thyme sprigs

Directions

Special equipment: melon baller

Chill the martini glasses.

Fill the shaker with ice. Combine the vodka, apple juice, and thyme syrup in a martini shaker. Shake for about 10 seconds. Divide between the 4 chilled martini glasses.

Use the melon baller to scoop out small balls of apple. Place 3 balls of apple and 1 sprig of thyme in each glass for garnish. Serve immediately.

Thyme Simple Syrup:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 5 large sprigs fresh thyme

In a saucepan combine sugar, water, and thyme over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and cool the syrup. Any extra cooled syrup can be saved in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    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".
