Named for that singular moment. The honey-thyme syrup gives this bourbon cocktail a herbal warmth that feels handcrafted and personal.

Ingredients
Method
  1. Combine bourbon, lemon juice, honey-thyme syrup, and bitters in a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake hard for 15 seconds.
  3. Strain over one large ice cube in a rocks glass.
  4. Garnish with a fresh thyme sprig lit briefly with a lighter to release aroma.
  5. Serve with a lemon wheel on the rim.
💡 Pro tip: Make the honey-thyme syrup up to a week ahead. It also works beautifully as a mocktail base with sparkling water.
