It is no wonder that one of Thyme’s major function for the body is to boost the immune system, aiding in the necessary, courageous armor to ward off disease in the body. The thymus gland itself in our bodies, which peaks at its level of importance and productivity at the apex of puberty, is so busy bringing all the T-cells to maturity in the body in order to fight infections for the rest of our lives. Egyptians used thyme in mummification preparations and Roman soldiers ate a robust meal with thyme before entering battle. The word Thyme in its Latin glory of thymus means courage and this lovely lady has been associated with that sense of bold courage since ancient times. That is precisely why Thyme is our herb of the moment. With flavors of pea, spearmint, hops, thyme, and cucumber, this gimlet is a little grassy, a little tart, and worth a second round.It takes courage and strength to keep on going when everything around is changing and evolving. It’s a traditional gimlet, but, in this case, the base “spirit” is alcohol-free, zero-calorie Seedlip Garden 108. It’s refreshing and a gorgeous pale blue, perfect for dreaming of the poolside weather that seems so far away.Īnd finally, if you’re staying zero-proof this spring, Lumin’s Garden Gimlet is approachable and sophisticated. This one has big cucumber flavor, matched with the herbal dryness of Manzanilla sherry, and softened with fruity notes of pear and blue curaçao. Hospitality Manager David Albright wanted to pair the look of blue kids’ and sports drinks with an herbal, summery, crushable profile, and Something Blue hits all those marks. And, to celebrate, stop by for a taste of the upcoming summer. But if those ideas sound intriguing, and you like your flavors on the complicated side, this one will definitely hold your attention.Īre you excited about the reopening of Service Bar? Of course you are. It’s earthy, the smoke and malt of Johnnie Walker infused with starkly bitter, floral notes of Chrysanthemum, and rounded out with white vermouth, citric acid, and pungent grapefruit oil. And we admit, this cocktail isn’t for everyone. Then, new for spring, the Onceler is an intense spinoff on a white Manhattan. It’s a good thing MOUTON doesn’t serve food, because you wouldn’t want to ruin this flavor with a meal. It’s emerald green and vaguely reminiscent of a veggie-packed smoothie, but so much more enticing. It’s a solid base of tequila and mezcal, boosted with a strong cucumber-parsley syrup and brightened with a bit of lime. Their winter Garden Goddess was so popular that it’s remaining on the menu for spring. Stop by MOUTON for a couple of unique options. Pair it with shrimp taquitos or guacamole and have seconds.
Although green tea often overpowers everything it touches, here, it’s subtle and lets the other flavors play, too. (You can also order it as a single cocktail.)īut even better, arguably, is their Thyme Killer: High Bank vodka, green tea, yellow chartreuse, thyme, lemon, and champagne. It’s a cross between an Aviation and a French 75, dry and floral, with the herbal depth and bold color of lavender and a slightly sweet fruitiness from lychee and prosecco. If one purple drink isn’t enough for you, grab your friends and head over to Lincoln Social for a carafe of their Lincoln 75. And, while rosemary often is used as a winter flavor, here, it’s fresh and vibrant. The addition of butterfly pea flower powder gives the drink a delicate lavender hue, perfect for spring. It’s a simple riff on a Bee’s Knees, with Watershed Four Peel gin, rosemary simple syrup, and lemon. Perhaps the most approachable of the bunch is Lumin Sky Bar’s Violet Rose. We’ve rounded up a handful of delicious options in the Short North that are sure to please the eye as well as the palate, whether you prefer your cocktails straightforward or complex. This spring, leave the same old cocktails behind and get to know some fresh, herbal flavors.
