Instructions

Step 1: In a shaker, add 2 ounces gin, 1 ounce fresh lemon juice, 3/4 ounce ginger syrup, and 1 fresh thyme sprig. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until chilled and fragrant with herbal notes.
Step 2: Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled highball glass filled with fresh ice cubes, then top with 3 ounces chilled club soda for effervescence.
Step 3: Gently slap the remaining thyme sprig between your hands to release its aroma and use it along with 1 lemon wheel as garnish to complement the cocktail’s bright flavors.
