Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/6 cup water
  • 1/6 cup sugar
  • 2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • plain sparkling water
  • ice

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and blackberries. Cook over low heat until the mixture starts to boil.
  2. Add the fresh thyme and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, pressing the softened blackberries with a spoon to release their juices.
  3. Ensure the sugar is completely dissolved, then remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool.
  4. Once cooled, remove the thyme and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to separate the fruit puree from the syrup.
  5. Allow the blackberry thyme syrup to cool to room temperature before using it.
  6. Fill a cocktail glass with ice and 3/4 full with sparkling water.
  7. Add 2 oz of the blackberry thyme syrup to the glass and mix gently.
  8. Garnish with fresh blackberries and a sprig of thyme.
