Peach Thyme Out

Peach and thyme make a softer, more savory fizz than the usual peach-and-mint combination. The thyme adds a gentle woody scent, so use it sparingly while the peach releases its juice. Ripe fruit is important here; bubbles can’t compensate for a hard, flavorless peach. Press a few slices before topping up. It’s an easy drink to linger over, with the herb becoming a little more noticeable as the glass sits.

Ingredients

• 5 oz Sparkling water
• 1/4 cup Peach slices
• 1 sprig Thyme

Make it

1. Add any fruit, herbs, spices, or syrup to a glass and gently press to release flavor.
2. Add the still liquids and ice. Stir to combine.
3. Pour in the sparkling ingredient slowly and stir once. Serve immediately.

Benefits

Peach and thyme · refreshing fluids

There’s 5 oz of water behind the peach and thyme in this recipe: everyday hydration with a mellow stone-fruit sweetness, rather than another plain glass.

Peach · more than a sweet mixer

With thyme in the glass, the measured peach contributes a mellow stone-fruit sweetness as an accent to the fizz.
