One of our new favorite things to add to our party cocktails is flavor infused simple syrups! Whether it be fruit, flavored extracts or fresh herbs, we love the bit of bold flavor it adds to our traditional aperitifs! For this Plum Prosecco, we added a hint of Thyme infused simple syrup which elevated the flavor of our fresh, sliced plums, creating an earthy, yet fruity flavor that we simply can't get enough of!
- 4 Plums
- 4 Thyme Sprigs
- 1/2 C Sugar
- 1/2 C Water
- Prosecco
- Thyme and Plum Slices for Garnish
- 1 C Ice
Let's begin with the Thyme infused simple syrup. Heat 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water and 2 sprigs of Thyme over medium heat and bring to a boil. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, remove the syrup from the heat and allow to cool.
Place a small strainer over a Quart Ball Mason Jar and strain the simple syrup. Add the simple syrup, 2 sprigs of Thyme and 6 to 8 slices of plum into a drink shaker. Muddle the ingredients until thoroughly mixed. Add the ice to the shaker and shake for about a minute.
Pour evenly into 4 Clear Stemless Wine Glasses and then top with your choice of Prosecco or Champagne. Add a few plum slices and fresh Thyme for garnishing and serve!
