Sweet blackberries and thyme work well with the dark fruit flavors in Elysium, a rich foil for vodka. Created by Dana Fares, Quady Mixologist.
2 oz Elysium Black Muscat
1/2 oz vodka
1 sprig of thyme
10 to 15 blackberries
1/2 lemon, sliced
Place the thyme sprig in the palm of your hand and slap it to release its’ oils. Place at the bottom of your glass. In a shaker, muddle blackberries and lemon. Add the vodka and Elysium, and fill with ice. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Strain into cocktail glass, or serve over crushed ice. Garnish with a sprig of thyme or blackberry.
