Country Thyme Recipe

Thyme and blueberries are wonderful partners, and nothing makes that clearer than the country thyme from h. Joseph ehrmann at elixir in san francisco. Blueberries have a wonderful earthy quality that thyme highlights beautifully, and vodka and lemon keep the whole thing crisp and bright. Ehrmanns recipe doesnt call for double-straining (straining the drink from the shaker through a fine mesh strainer), but do it to prevent mangled blueberry skins and lemon cruft from floating on top of the lovely drink. Your call. If blueberries arent in season where you are, you can use a couple tablespoons of blueberry jam, or really any berry jam or preserves. If you do, you may wish to reduce or omit the agave syrup.
