Limoncello-Gin Cocktail with Grilled Thyme | Tipsy Tuesday

By Pam Greer 2 Comments

Limoncello and gin is a match made in heaven in this Limoncello-Gin Cocktail with Grilled Thyme!  

Limoncello-Gin Cocktail with Grilled Thyme

I’d like to take a moment and compliment myself on my most awesome idea to review a cocktail a week on this blog.  Without this kind of self-imposed motivation, I would have probably been drinking my favorite gin and tonic day-in-and-day-out.  I would have no idea of the wonderful other cocktails out there waiting for me!

Limoncello-Gin Cocktail with Grilled Thyme

I found this recipe by simply doing a search on cocktails and thyme.  My thyme is doing so well in my herb garden this year.  From years past, I have learned that to keep thyme looking good, you either have to prune it or use it regularly – do not let it get too leggy and woody.  So I needed to use up some thyme.

I found this gem, Limoncello-Gin Cocktail with Grilled Thyme at Fine Cooking.   I had just finished aging a batch of homemade Limoncello – from Sidewalk Shoes and this sounded perfect.

It was!  It was so light and refreshing.  The limoncello and gin paired perfectly of course and the thyme added a subtle savoriness to it.  My only complaint was that it made just two drinks.  I’m thinking next time that a pitcher is in order!

    Limoncello sitting in the freezer, thyme on the back deck and lime in the fridge. All I need is the gin and I’m set. I’m intrigued by the combination – definitely have to try this out.
