The Fedora
(recipe from Imbibe magazine; created by Mike Ryan of Sable Kitchen & Bar in Chicago)
2 oz bourbon (Bulleit)
0.5 oz grenadine
0.75 oz lemon juice
0.25 oz simple syrup (brown sugar)
Pinch of salt
3 sprigs fresh thyme
Shake all ingredients vigorously with ice in shaker. Garnish with more thyme.
Wow! Great drink; shows off bartending skill.
I was really impressed with the balance in this cocktail; every ingredient harmonized but didn't become muddied. Tasted almost like a kicky punch but the charred-wood flavor in the bourbon and the thyme gave it a more earthy, almost sage-y taste. Took it from punch to refreshing cocktail! Bonus points because it looked awfully pretty :)
