Pastis the Thyme
By Mike Vander Horn,
My friend on Instagram made this drink recently and its complexity intrigued me. Originally a sous vide and rapid infusion for the vodka, I chose to do a standard infusion for that, but to carbonate the cocktail I had to clarify the lemon juice (I used agar-agar). Once it was all together and cold I carbonated, waited a day, and shot and served. This was tasty if you like Pastis or black licorice; it definitely balances over ice after a little while but at first it’s a smack of licorice. The herbal, salt and pepper notes sit underneath the pastis but push forward after those few crucial dilution moments and this turned into a nice salty, pastisy sipper
