Blackberry Thyme Sparkler
INGREDIENTS: 1 cup blackberries + 8 more for garnish, 1 cup Water, 1 cup sugar, 1 bottle of champagne, 4 ounces or 1/2 cup gin, 4 long sprigs of thyme, 1 cup ice, and gold baking sugar for the rim. DIRECTIONS: In a small saucepan, bring blackberries, water, and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the blackberries are soft and the simple syrup has turned to a bright pink/redish color. Remove from heat, drain blackberries, and allow to cool. Rub just around the rim of the glass with a bit of butter before dipping the glass into the gold baking sugar. Next, begin by adding 1 ounce of gin to each champagne glass. Next drop two blackberries in each glass, followed by 2 ounces of homemade blackberry simple syrup. Fill the rest of the glass with champagne and top with a sprig of thyme in each glass.
