Ingredients

For the thyme syrup:

  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 8 sprigs thyme

For the Thyme Apple Cider Spritz

  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 1 ½ cups dark rum (remove if you're making a mocktail)
  • ¾ cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Angostura bitters
  • Club soda
  • 8 sprigs of thyme
  • 8 lime slices

Instructions

For thyme syrup:

  • Bring the equal amounts of the sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, add thyme sprigs, and cover. Let stand 10 minutes, then strain into a small jar. Let cool entirely.

For assembly:

  • Mix thyme syrup, apple cider, rum, lime juice, and bitters in a large pitcher. Divide among glasses filled with ice and top with a splash of club soda. Garnish with thyme sprigs and lime slices.

Notes

Leave out the rum and you have a mocktail ready for everyone to enjoy! Then they can add a splash of liquor to their own glasses as desired.
