A luxurious and imaginative take on the classic vodka cocktail, this recipe is an ideal foundation for large-batch cocktail options. Using fresh ingredients such as thyme and plums, coupled with fizzy ginger beer enhances the taste of a neutral spirit like vodka.
Add the vodka, lime juice, sliced plums and thyme to a large pitcher and mix well.
Pour in the ginger beer before allowing the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
Serve individual portions of the cocktail in glasses filled with ice and garnished with sprigs of thyme.
