Shawn C. of Fresno, California, set out in 2023 to make a savory Gibson martini using thyme liqueur. The first version, made with Noilly Prat dry vermouth, came out too dry, and the thyme and celery bitters were overpowering. The final recipe uses less thyme and less vermouth, and swaps in Comoz, which is sweeter but still drier in profile than Dolin Blanc or Italian bianco vermouths.
