MEYER LEMON MARTINI
Meyer lemons, a cross between a lemon and an orange, have a sweeter, less acidic flavor than the more common lemon. If you have to use a regular lemon, add a little extra sugar to taste. For the ultimate martini, use good quality vodka and orange liqueur. I should have named this the 'come to mama' martini!

THYME OUT
Steps:
- Wipe the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Build a high-heat fire. Your high-heat zone should have embers 1 to 2 inches from the cooking surface, with occasional flames licking it.
- Place the lemons, cut side down, over high heat until they are charred and soft, about 3 minutes. While the lemons char, using tongs, hold 8 of the thyme sprigs over high heat just until they start to color and give off wisps of smoke.
- Add the remaining 8 thyme sprigs to a cocktail shaker, squeeze in the lemon juice, and add a couple ice cubes. Shake very well and strain into a pitcher. Add the ice water, vodka, and agave, and stir until the agave is dissolved.
- Serve the drinks in ice-filled glasses garnished with a charred thyme sprig.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and fragrant lemon thyme for the best flavor.
- Use a good quality vodka. A smooth, high-quality vodka will make a big difference in the taste of the martini.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of gin. There are many great gins on the market, each with its unique flavor profile. Find one that you like and use it in your martini.
- Make sure to chill the martini glass before serving. This will help keep the martini cold and refreshing.
- Garnish the martini with a sprig of lemon thyme or a lemon twist. This will add a touch of elegance and flavor to your drink.
Conclusion:
The Lemon Thyme Martini is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright citrus notes and herbal undertones, this martini is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail, give the Lemon Thyme Martini a try. You won't be disappointed.
