Recipe Intro From garden__drinks

On Thursday I had a bunch of raspberries about to go bad, so I decided it was Syrup Time. I threw in a handful of lemon thyme from my garden. Overripe raspberries are too sweet for me, but the astringent/floral/citrus qualities of lemon thyme added a lovely depth of flavor that turned this syrup into something magical.

Obviously Clover Clubs were in order for happy hour. I made us two versions: one with egg white and one without (because I got lazy). The version pictured is made with @suntory_rokugin, sans egg white. Tastes like the fanciest Sweet Tart you’ve ever had. I LOVE how vibrant it turned out. The lemon thyme comes across stronger in this version as well.
