Summer thyme punch

By Ryan Duvenage
4
4 hours

Ingredients

  • 150 ml vodka
  • 250 ml dry and fruity white wine
  • 200 ml cranberry juice
  • 1 handful fresh thyme, plus extra to garnish
  • 75 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 50 ml sugar syrup
  • 200 ml soda water

Method

Combine all the ingredients except the soda water in a punch bowl or large jug and stir well. Chill for 4 hours.

Add ice and soda just before serving.

Serve with crushed cranberries, a gold leaf, fresh mint, lemon wedges and a lime, cut into a star.

TASTE's take:

Inspired by Durban’s sunny skies, Ryan Duvenage, mixology manager for the Barcode Bar Academy, shakes up this refreshing wine-based punch, imbued with the herby notes of thyme.
