Creator Notes
I’d like I could possibly possibly well well gain of a sexier title for this drink, since it’s balanced and savory, and I’d expend to support you to desire a peek at it. I made a batch of grape-thyme syrup this weekend, after which had support from a pal (who is both a cocktail guru and a gin fanatic) in fashioning this drink. Mix the leftover grape syrup with seltzer and citrus for a healthy, refined soda. —Cristina Sciarra
