Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup blackberries (+2 blackberries for garnish)
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 8 ounces sparkling water (unflavored)
  • 1/2 cup ice

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, 2 sprigs of thyme, and brown sugar. Cook on low heat until the blackberries soften, approximately 5 minutes.
  2. Mash the blackberries with a fork or spoon to release their juice and cook for a few more minutes until the blackberry juice is infused with the thyme and the brown sugar is well combined with the liquid.
  3. Strain the infused blackberry mixture through a small strainer or cheesecloth into a small bowl. Save the blackberry pulp if desired for adding to the spritzer or freezing for future use.
  4. Pour half of the sparkling water over ice, then add 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of the infused blackberry thyme juice.
  5. Garnish with blackberries and extra thyme sprigs.
