Spicy Lemon & Thyme Martini

  • 2 oz Vodka
  • 1 oz Lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz Lemon Thyme simple syrup

Lemon & Thyme Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 slices Lemon
  • 3-4 sprigs Thyme
  • 4 slices Jalapeño

Instructions

  • To make simple syrup, mix sugar with 1 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add a few sprigs of thyme, a couple of slices of lemon, jalapeno slices and stir until well mixed. Heat until sugar dissolves completely. Let the syrup cool completely and pour into a glass jar.
  • In a shaker with ice, add ice, vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup and give it a good shake. Strain into a habanero sugar rimmed martini glass.
  • For a stronger martini, use 3 oz of vodka and reduce lemon juice and simple syrup to 1/2 oz each.
