Cider Maple Smash
It's the first genuinely cold weekend and there's cider in the fridge. Maple is heavier than simple syrup, so shake it like you mean it or it sulks at the bottom of the glass. The thyme reads as decoration right up until you bruise it in the shaker.

- 1 ozMaple syrup
- 3 ozApple cider
- 1 ozLemon juice
Garnish
Fresh thyme
Method
Add all ingredients into shaker, half full of ice. Pour entire contents into highball glass. Serve with a thyme sprig. (Express/muddle some thyme in the shaker if wanted for an extra flavor.)
