Step 1

Stir sugar, water, strawberries, and thyme together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a low simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 10-15 minutes until sugar has dissolved and strawberries have softened. The syrup should turn a bright, rich pink color as the strawberries begin to break down.

Step 2

Remove syrup from heat and let cool for 20-30 minutes, then strain to remove all fruit and herbs. (Pro tip: Reserve the leftover strawberries for smoothies!)

Step 3

Use cooled syrup immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Note: This recipe makes enough simple syrup for several cocktails; use what you need for your drinks today and save the rest in the fridge for later!

Step 4

Add simple syrup, lime juice, and tequila (or your spirit of choice) to a large cocktail shaker. Shake over ice until chilled, then pour into cocktail glasses filled with ice.

Step 5

Garnish drinks with fresh strawberries and a sprig of thyme (optional) and serve immediately.
