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
  1. FOR THE SYRUP
  2. Combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice and water in a saucepot and bring to a boil.
  3. Once it boils, reduce the heat until the berries are falling apart and the sauce has thickened (10-15 minutes).
  4. Strain the berries out, and then return the liquid to the pot.
  5. Cook on medium heat until the sauce has reduced by at least ⅓. (15 minutes)
  6. FOR THE COCKTAIL
  7. Muddle the Thyme in a cocktail shaker.
  8. In the Cocktail Shaker, combine Ice, syrup, lemonade, and vodka. Shake until frosty.
  9. Pour into a Lowball glass and serve with a sprig of thyme and berries.
  10. You may also serve over ice if you prefer.
  11. 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.
