Ingredients
For the Thyme Syrup (makes enough for 4-5 mocktails):
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon Stevia or sweetener of choice - see notes for substitutions
- ½ cup fresh thyme sprigs approximately 8-10 sprigs with stems
For Each Mocktail:
- 1 tablespoon thyme syrup
- ½ cup fresh grapefruit juice approximately 1 medium pink grapefruit
- ⅓ cup soda water unflavored sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh thyme sprig and grapefruit slice or wedge for garnish
Instructions
- Heat water and sweetener in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until dissolved. Add thyme sprigs, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes. Strain out the thyme and let the syrup cool completely.
- To make your mocktail, add 1 tablespoon of the cooled thyme syrup and ½ cup grapefruit juice to a glass. Fill with ice, pour in ⅓ cup sparkling water, and stir gently. Garnish with a fresh thyme sprig and grapefruit slice if desired. The leftover syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week to make more drinks later.
