Cocktail of the week: The Standard’s thyme collins | The Good Mixer


Thyme collins

Most of our grapefruit comes from outside the EU, and this zingy twist on the classic Tom Collins is as good a way of celebrating its season as any.

2 stalks lemon thyme
5ml basic sugar syrup
25ml pink grapefruit juice, ideally freshly squeezed
5ml elderflower liqueur
– we use Chase
50ml gin – we use Tanqueray London Dry
Good tonic water, to top – we use Fever-Tree Aromatic
2 slices grapefruit, to garnish

Put one lemon thyme stalk and all the liquids bar the tonic in a shaker, add ice and shake.

Strain into a highball glass filled with ice, top with tonic, garnish with the remaining lemon thyme and the grapefruit slices, and serve.
