Drink of the Week! Thyme Greyhound

Photo: Anthro Blog

Aye, aye! It’s Thirsty Thursday & how convenient it’s FIVE o’clock here! This Thursday we were feeling ultra festive for our drink of the week so prepare yourselves because this one is not for the faint of heart! Thanks to Anthro Blog we got this new recipe and drink to try!

Say hello to the THYME GREYHOUND!

INGREDIENTS:

For the thyme simple syrup (yes, you have to make it yourself, calm your titties):
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
4-5 thyme sprigs

For the cocktail:
½ part thyme simple syrup
1 part vodka
2 parts grapefruit juice
Sprigs of fresh thyme, for garnish
Cherry, for garnish

Now before you panic that you have to make your own simple syrup, there’s a reason it’s called SIMPLE.

So here’s what you have to do… Start by making the syrup by combining sugar, water and thyme sprigs in a small saucepan. Let these suckers simmer for a bit on say, medium-low heat. Don’t forget to keep stirring until all the suga’ suga’ is dissolved. Once it’s done, let it chill for a sec and take out the thyme sprigs. FINALLY in a glass filled with ice, stir all that sh*t together and make your drink. Then obviously, garnish that bad boy with a sprig of fresh thyme and a cherry.

Voilà! You’re done! Now drink.

How to Make Unforgettable Bloody Mary’s

What’s a brunch without a Bloody Mary? Sadness. Pure sadness.

For those of you that are mimosa drinkers, I apologize as I rain on your parade. Mimosa’s just don’t do it for me. But Bloodys? Bloody Mary’s are my kinda style. 🍹

Now, not every Bloody Mary is up to par. To be honest, you kind of got to scope the scene that you’re at, see who’s ordered them and see what they look like.

Yeah, call me picky.

I am just a girl that knows what she wants and I ain’t going to settle for anything less. Yes, I am still talking about Bloody Mary’s.

Let me clarify as to what the perfect Bloody should consist of and look like…

– Start by dipping the rim of your cup in Montreal Steak Seasoning… Trust me on this one.
– Vodka… DUH.
– Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix… This is crucial. Other Bloody Mary mix’s just can’t even.
– A couple splashes of Worchester Sauce… Self explanatory.
– A couple splashes of Cholula Hot Sauce… Because I said so!
– 1/4 teaspoon of Horseradish… Boom, boom, pow!
– 1 piece of Celery… Because what is a Bloody Mary without celery?
– A couple Olives & Jalapeños on a toothpick… Great appetizing accessory. Hell, even add some green beans and pickles!
– Last but certainly not least, bacon… Because everyone loves bacon.

These are the bare necessities. The minimum per say.

If you’re at a super festive place, there may be a small meal included within your Bloody Mary.

Sounds crazy good, I know.

Yes, that’s another extra Bloody Mary on top for kicks.

These small meals can range from:  – A piece of pizza 🍕
– A Burger 🍔
– Tater Tots
– Crab Legs
– Shrimp 🍤
– Chicken 🍗
– Ribs 🍖
– A Sandwich
– Onion Rings
– French Fries 🍟

When it’s made by yours truly, it will blow your mind, as will I. 💁🏼

Enjoy my friends!
