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!

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
5 sprigs fresh thyme
ice
8 ounces vodka (I use Absolut)
8 ounces apple juice
1/4 cup thyme syrup

4 sprigs fresh thyme, optional garnish

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.).
  • Use a melon baller to scoop small balls of apple. Place 3 apple balls & a sprig of fresh thyme in each glass.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Granny Smith apples are the best choice for this martini, as they are tart and crisp. However, you can use any type of apple you like.
  • Use fresh thyme: Fresh thyme is essential for this martini, as it adds a bright, herbal flavor. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme, but use half the amount.
  • Make the simple syrup ahead of time: The simple syrup can be made up to a week in advance. This makes it easy to whip up a martini whenever you want one.
  • Chill the martini glass: Chilling the martini glass will help to keep the martini cold and refreshing.
  • Serve the martini immediately: Martinis are best served immediately, while they are still cold and foamy.
