Blueberry Honey & Thyme Cocktail

Blueberry Honey & Thyme Cocktail

I wasn't going to post these cocktails until next week but blueberry season is at its peak in our neck of the woods and I didn't want to risk it being over for some of you. These are wonderful cocktails made with farm fresh ingredients and honey from a local beekeeper. Farm to glass is how we like to enjoy cocktail hour and I hope you all enjoy these tasty beverages too!

Blueberry Honey & Thyme Cocktails

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 1 pitcher

Ingredients

Blueberry Honey Thyme Simple Syrup
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 fresh thyme sprigs
Cocktail
  • 2 cups vodka
  • 3/4 cup blueberry simple syrup (recipe above)
  • 3 1/2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups soda water
Garnishes
  • Frozen blueberries (they'll act like ice cubes!)
  • Fresh thyme sprigs

Preparation

  1. Combine the blueberries, honey and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir a few times to dissolve the honey. Reduce heat to a low simmer and add the 4 thyme sprigs. Keep on low heat for about 12 minutes. Strain into a jar, pressing the blueberries with the back of a wooden spoon to get all the juice out.
  2. In a large pitcher combine the vodka, roughly 3/4 cup simple syrup (more or less depending on sweet preference), lemon juice and soda water. Serve over ice and enjoy!
