Pomegranate Thyme Spritz

First, prepare the Honey Thyme Simple Syrup: Add 1 cup water, 1 cup honey, and a bunch of fresh thyme to a saucepan. Simmer on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the honey is melted and the syrup begins a slow simmer (about 10 minutes). Remove the pan from heat and let the syrup steep until completely cooled, then strain it into a syrup bottle.

To make the Pomegranate Thyme Spritz: In a large pitcher, combine 2 cups of pomegranate juice, 4 oz of elderflower liqueur, the juice of 2 limes, 1 cup of vodka or gin, and 1/4 cup of the prepared honey thyme simple syrup. Top with a bottle of chilled Prosecco. Stir gently. Garnish individual servings with fresh thyme sprigs and pomegranate seeds.
