Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Make the thyme-simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of water with the sugar and thyme; bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Strain and chill the simple syrup: Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a measuring cup; discard the thyme. You should have 1/2 cup of syrup. Cover with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill.
  3. Combine the ingredients and serve: In a serving glass, stir together the lemon juice, vodka, and chilled syrup. Add ice and garnish with a sprig of thyme.
