One Plum Thyme

  • 2 Plums, peeled and chopped (plus whole slices for garnish)

  • 2 cans Champlain Orchards original hard cider

INSTRUCTIONS.

  1. Muddle the plums with the thyme simple syrup and lemon juice until all of the plum juices have been released. (You can also muddle right in the glass if you prefer to have bits of fruit in your cocktail!)

  2. Shake with ice in a cocktail shaker. Pour over crushed ice evenly between two glasses.

  3. Top off with cider and garnish with extra plum slices and thyme sprigs.

  4. Serve immediately.
