Raise Your Glass to a “New” Cocktail

Feb 22, 2007 by Tina Ruggiero

Martini Glass

While I have a favorite drink, I like to explore my options, and I stumbled upon a winner while dining at Green Zebra Tuesday night in Chicago.

For those of you looking to impress guests at a dinner party, or if you’re just looking for something new, I highly recommend the Yerba Santa. Its crisp, clean flavors make it an ideal pre-dinner cocktail, yet I enjoyed it with fish. Give it a try, and let me know what you think.

YERBA SANTA
Ingredients:
Leaves from 2 – 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1 1/2 ounces gin (Tanqueray 10 or other premium gin)
2 ounces sauvignon blanc (i.e., 2005 SB Penalolen from Chile)

Directions:

  • In a cocktail shaker, muddle thyme with simple syrup.
  • Add ice, gin and wine.
  • Shake and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled martini glass
  • In a cocktail shaker, muddle thyme with simple syrup.
