Cocktail Recipe: Plum & Thyme Autumn Fizz
Autumnal and celebratory, this glass of fall fizz looks as special as it tastes. For those who like to add a little something to their fizz, I think this cocktail would make a perfect autumn alternative to a mimosa.
The flavours are delicate, not overpowering, and if you’ve got a cocktail stick to hand at the end then plum slices are yummy too!
This cocktail would make a fantastic welcome drink for an autumn wedding or even a great toast alternative, it just has a real special feel and super effective look.
PLUM & THYME AUTUMN FIZZ COCKTAIL RECIPE
Serves: 1
INGREDIENTS
1 plum
2 Thyme sprigs
20ml thyme honey syrup
10ml lemon juice
Prosecco or champagne
HONEY THYME SYRUP
5 springs of fresh thyme
4tbs water
4tbs honey
INSTRUCTIONS
To make the syrup: add all of the syrup ingredients to a pan, let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Leave to cool completely and then strain into a jar/jug.
Slice up your plum and place the pieces into a champagne flute.
Add 20ml of honey thyme syrup and 10ml of lemon juice to the glass and muddle well with the plums.
Fill the glass with prosecco (or other bubbly) and very gently stir once or twice.
Garnish with thyme sprigs and serve.
I think there is also definitely a fig version of this to be had - fig leaf honey syrup and sliced fig in the glass… perhaps I will have to try that this weekend… oh the hardships of owning a bar!
