Thyme goes beautifully with sweet and citrus flavors, making it perfect for cocktails. This recipe multiplies easily for large groups; just blend the thyme and lemon juice in a blender and strain before adding to the other ingredients.

Note

To make the simple syrup, just mix 2 parts sugar to 1 part water, bring to a boil just to dissolve the sugar, then let cool.
