Review

It most certainly is! As the name suggests, aromatic thyme subtly influences this spirituous cognac-based cocktail, with Grand Marnier adding rich but delicate zesty orange notes.

Didn't have sugar cubes so we used packed brown sugar. We didn't have Carpano, so we used Punt E Mes. Absolutely outstanding.

Does the thyme get muddled with the sugar and bitters, or just stirred with the rest?

I tried it both ways - I only tasted the thyme in the thyme-muddled version

Michael Z 1y

Agreed. Even increased to 3 springs.
