APPLE THYME MARTINI
Originally seen on Giada De Laurentiis but we altered it, as the version she drinks is a bit heavy on the vodka for us. ;) I loved that the simple syrup was homemade & everything else was fresh. Mmmm!

Steps:
- Chill the martini glasses.
- To Make syrup: In small saucepan, combine water, sugar & thyme. Bring to boil over medium heat then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat & let cool. (Leftover syrup should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.).
- To Assemble: Fill a martini shaker with the vodka, apple juice & 1/4 cup of the thyme syrup. Shake 10 seconds & pour into 4 chilled glasses. (I use a single-serve shaker so I combine everything but ice in a pitcher & then pour into shaker from there.).

- Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh, crisp apples: Granny Smith apples are a good choice, as they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that pairs well with the thyme and gin.
- Don't over-muddle the apples: You want to release their flavor without making the drink too cloudy.
- Use a good quality gin: A London dry gin is a good choice, as it has a clean, crisp flavor that will allow the other ingredients to shine through.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of thyme: Lemon thyme or orange thyme would be delicious variations.
- Garnish with a sprig of thyme: This will add a beautiful finishing touch to your cocktail.
