Grilled Vodka Lemonade With Thyme Cocktail

lemons, halved

thyme

Ice cubes

water

Thyme goes beautifully with sweet and citrus flavors, making it perfect for cocktails. This recipe multiplies easily for large groups; just blend the thyme and lemon juice in a blender and strain before adding to the other ingredients.

Epicurious

Wipe the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Build a high-heat fire. Your high-heat zone should have embers 1 to 2 inches from the cooking surface, with occasional flames licking it.

Place the lemons, cut side down, over high heat until they are charred and soft, about 3 minutes. While the lemons char, using tongs, hold 8 of the thyme sprigs over high heat just until they start to color and give off wisps of smoke.

Add the remaining 8 thyme sprigs to a cocktail shaker, squeeze in the lemon juice, and add a couple ice cubes. Shake very well and strain into a pitcher. Add the ice water, vodka, and agave, and stir until the agave is dissolved.

Serve the drinks in ice-filled glasses garnished with a charred thyme sprig.

A hot pink drink with a jalapeño kick. 

Pineapple-Hibiscus Cocktail

peeled,

white vinegar

hibiscus flowers

jalapeño,

mint

lime,

tequila

lime juice

We love the citrusy sour flavor of hibiscus, not to mention its amazing color.

Bring sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Add pineapple, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit 30 minutes to infuse syrup with pineapple flavor. Strain into a small bowl; stir in vinegar. Cover and chill shrub until cold, about 30 minutes. Cover and chill pineapple pieces until ready to use.

Meanwhile, place hibiscus in a small bowl and pour 1¼ cups boiling water over. Cover and let steep 10 minutes. Strain tea into an airtight container; discard flowers. Cover tea and chill until cold, about 30 minutes.

Set aside 8 slices jalapeño and 8 pieces pineapple for serving. Stir mint, lime wheels, tequila, lime juice, remaining jalapeño and pineapple, 1 cup shrub, and 1 cup tea in a large pitcher and chill at least 1 hour.

Serve in ice-filled rocks glasses garnished with reserved jalapeño slices and pineapple pieces.

Do Ahead: Cocktail can be mixed 6 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
