    How to Make Cranberry Thyme Fizz

    1. First make the thyme simple syrup. Combine sugar, water and fresh sprigs of thyme in a small saucepan. Bring it to a rapid simmer and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Turn off the heat and let it stand for 15 minutes so the thyme infuses. Strain and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one month.
    2. Fill a tall glass ¾ full of ice. Add the gin, thyme simple syrup and cranberry juice. Stir well. Top it off with club soda. 
    3. Garnish with sprigs of thyme and fresh cranberries. Enjoy!

    Tips & Tricks

    • I like making the thyme simple syrup in advance. It isn't necessary but it'll make things easier if your making a bunch of drinks! Additionally, you can store it in the fridge for up to one month! 
    • If you don’t like the flavor of thyme, you can leave it out and make/use regular simple syrup. I also believe honey or agave would be a good substitute.
    • Finally, for a visually stunning cocktail try freezing cranberries into your ice cubes!
