Ingredients

For the blueberry-thyme simple syrup

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1 cup Maine blueberries
  • 4 –5 thyme sprigs

For the cocktail

  • ounces of your favorite Maine gin
  • 1 ounce blueberry-thyme simple syrup
  • ½ ounce lemon juice
  • ½ ounce lime juice
  • Short rocks glass for serving
  • A few Maine blueberries for garnish
  • Lemon peel curled (for garnish)
  • 1 thyme sprig

Instructions

For the simple syrup

  • In a saucepan, add the sugar, water, and corn syrup and cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add the blueberries and thyme and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Let cool. Pour into glass jar or container with the thyme and berries and store in refrigerator. Store without the thyme for a subtler thyme flavor.
