Meadowsweet & Lemon Thyme Gimlet Cocktail

I'm a Cornell culinary school graduate, love reworking recipes to become plant-based, enjoy international cuisines, love it hot & spicy. I have an extensive recipe collection, which I'm hoping to digitize here to make it easier for me to find all of my ideas for twisting :)

Leaning into the simplicity and elegance of stirred drinks, this cocktail showcases The Botanist’s refined flavor, complemented by a pop of acidity and sweetness from an herbaceous cordial made from meadowsweet and lemon thyme. The result is a Gimlet riff that could easily convert the most dedicated Martini drinker.
