For all the cold nights that you'll be staying in, you'll need a few spirit-forward cocktail recipes to accompany a good book by the fire. Here's a cocktail from Vancouvers's Origo Club, where herbaceous thyme and juniper berries complement the Chartruse, gin and cherry bourbon.
5 to 6 juniper berries
3/4 oz. green Chartreuse
3/4 oz. Beefeater Gin
1/2 oz. lime juice
1/2 oz. cherry bourbon
1 sprig thyme, for garnish
In a rocks glass, add muddled juniper berries and Chartreuse.
Shake gin, lime juice and cherry bourbon together in a cocktail shaker for 5 to10 seconds and pour into glass.
Add large spherical ice ball to the glass and garnish with lemon thyme.
