Instructions
Make your simple syrup: In a small saucepan, bring the syrup ingredients to a boil, then reduce to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, allow syrup to cool, and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a medium sized jar or airtight container, pressing fruit to make sure you get every last drop of liquid. Makes 1 cup. 2. Make the Cocktail: Fill 2 large glasses halfway with ice. 3. Combine vodka, lemon juice, and strawberry thyme simple syrup by stirring well, or shaking in a cocktail shaker. 4. Fill each glass halfway with strawberry lemonade and vodka mixture, and top with club soda. 5. Garnish with strawberries, thyme sprigs and lemon slices. Makes 2 drinks.
