Ingredients
- ⅓ cup fresh blackberries
- ⅓ cup water
- ⅓ cup cane sugar
- 3 sprigs of thyme
- ice
- club soda
- extra blackberries and thyme for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan or skillet over medium heat, mix the ⅓ cup fresh blackberries, ⅓ cup water, 1 sprig of thyme, ⅓ cup cane sugar and bring to a boil. Gently mash the fresh blackberries in the pan once they have had time to soften.
- Adjust the heat to low and allow the syrup to simmer for 10 minutes. Once the mixture has had time to thicken a little, strain into a glass jar, and allow the blackberry syrup to cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Using two glasses, pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of blackberry syrup in the bottom (depending on desired level of sweetness), add the ice, top with club soda, and serve with a sprig of thyme in each glass, and fresh blackberries. Stir before serving.
- Use the leftover syrup to freshen up the two drinks for two more servings or store in a jar with a lid in the refrigerator up to 10 days.
Notes
- The recipe makes enough for 4 medium mocktails or 2 large mocktails.
- Feel free to substitute the club soda for flavored sparkling water.
- If you prefer an alcohol version, add a shot of vodka to each serving.
