Ingredients


Serves 4

  • 3 thyme sprigs, plus more for garnish
  • 5 ounces citrus cheong syrup (In place of the syrup, use 1 cup strained fruit from the cheong and muddle with thyme leaves)
  • 3 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 4 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 orange, sliced, or dried orange slices for garnish
  • Club soda or sparkling mineral water

Instructions

  • Add thyme sprigs and citrus cheong orange syrup to a cocktail shaker and use a muddler to break up the thyme.
  • Add the lime juice, orange juice, and a generous handful of ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker is frosty. Fill a glass ⅔ full with ice. Add a fresh orange slice between the glass and the ice (alternatively, place a dried orange slice on the rim). Strain the mixed juice through a fine-mesh strainer into a cocktail glass. Add additional ice, top with mineral water, and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
