What You Need
FOR THE MULBERRY SYRUP (You can double the water and sugar but you'll have a less strong syrup.)
3 Cups Mulberries
¼ Cup water
¼ Cup sugar
Juice from one lemon
FOR THE COCKTAIL
2 Tablespoons Mulberry Syrup
1 Cup lemonade (preferably homemade)
1.5 to 2 Ounces CatHead Honeysuckle Vodka
4 Sprigs Lemon Thyme (also basil works but it changes the flavor and is much bolder.)
½ Cup Ice
TO GARNISH
1 sprig Lemon thyme
2-5 whole mulberries
What to Do
FOR THE SYRUP
Combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice and water in a saucepot and bring to a boil.
Once it boils, reduce the heat until the berries are falling apart and the sauce has thickened (10-15 minutes).
Strain the berries out, and then return the liquid to the pot.
Cook on medium heat until the sauce has reduced by at least ⅓. (15 minutes)
FOR THE COCKTAIL
Muddle the Thyme in a cocktail shaker.
In the Cocktail Shaker, combine Ice, syrup, lemonade, and vodka. Shake until frosty.
Pour into a Lowball glass and serve with a sprig of thyme and berries.
You may also serve over ice if you prefer.
NOTE: If you're making your lemonade from scratch, consider infusing the syrup with Lemon Thyme rather than muddling it. (To do this, as the heated water/sugar is cooling, place 5 or so muddled thyme sprigs into the pot with the syrup. Strain when cool. Then you'll have a delicious thyme lemonade.
