Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Plums
- 6 Thyme Sprigs
- Juice from 1 Lemon
- 4 Tbsp. Thyme Simple Syrup (1/2 Cup Sugar, 1/2 Cup Water)
- 1 Bottle of Prosecco (or your favorite bubbly)
Instructions
- Make the thyme simple syrup: combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small pan. Add 4 thyme sprigs. Heat until the sugar melts. Let cool, then remove thyme. This makes about 1/2 cup syrup.
- Peel and chop 2 plums into small pieces.
- Put the chopped plums in a shaker. Add 4 tablespoons thyme simple syrup and the juice from one lemon. Add a few thyme leaves if you like more herb flavor.
- Muddle the plums with the thyme simple syrup and lemon juice until all of the plum juices have been released.
- Fill the shaker with ice. Shake well for 10–15 seconds to chill and mix.
- Pour over crushed ice evenly between two glasses.
- Top off with prosecco and garnish with extra plum slices and thyme sprigs. Serve immediately.
Notes
This drink can be made lighter by reducing the syrup or using sugar-free options.
