It’s Tequila “thyme”! The perfect warm weather cocktail… tequila, bubbly, and fresh thyme.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. tequila of your choice (blanco/silver/plata is suggested. We used reposado for a richer flavor.)
• 1 oz. thyme simple syrup (easy ‘how to’ instructions below)
• 1 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
• (About) 4 oz. sparkling wine

Directions:

• Add tequila, lime juice and simple syrup to cocktail shaker with ice and shake thoroughly.
• Pour into preferred glassware (we used a champagne flute) and top with sparkling wine.
• Add fresh thyme sprig as garnish when serving (optional).

Thyme Simple Syrup:

• Use equal parts white sugar and water.
• Add 6-8 sprigs of fresh thyme
• Bring to a boil, then allow to boil for 5 minutes, which adds flavor and texture.
• Strain through fine mesh and set aside to cool.
• Simple syrup should have a slightly golden color.
