The smoky-sweet concoction is only available Oct. 30-Nov. 1 — but the Highland Village institution shared how to recreate it yourself now! The combo of citrus, maple and ginger beer is elevated further by lighting a sprig of thyme on fire, infusing the drink with smoky, herbaceous flavors.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5-2 ounces silver tequila or Mezcal
  • 2.5 ounces cranberry juice
  • .5 ounces (1 tablespoon) orange liquor
  • .5 ounces (1 tablespoon) lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Splash of ginger beer
  • Sprig of thyme

Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and fill with ice.
  2. Shake and strain into a large rocks glass.
  3. Top with ginger beer.
  4. Garnish with thyme, lighting the sprig on fire for a smoky effect.

Thrive & Inspire ’24: Adamson and Gibson Say Work Extra Hard, ‘They Don’t Have to See Your Sweat’

Phoebe Rourke

JD Adamson & Tony Gibson, Realtors®️ at Douglas Elliman Real Estate

WHAT IS THE secret to a successful real estate business? Clear communication, reconciling requirements with desires, and preemptively managing expectations are paramount to a win-win deal. There is an art to predicting clients’ wants before they do; deep listening is a key ingredient. Behind-the-scenes efforts often mitigate client anxiety levels more than outward actions — avoid an urge to wear the hustle like a badge. It’s okay to work harder than it appears you do. They don’t have to see you sweat. Keep egos in check and empathy levels high. Make room for openness. Do business with friends and protect their money. The deck is stacked in our client’s favor when objectives are clear and goals are stated. A compromise is not a defeat; it is an elegant solution. Always aim for a win-win deal; if that isn’t viable, you must win.
