Thyme-Infused Wine Punch Recipe
Find thyme to enjoy this refreshing cocktail
Consider this cocktail a chance to get lost in the Alps in beverage form. Vin de Savoie, a dry white wine from the Savoy wine region of France, and cognac add a touch of sophistication, while a thyme-infused syrup adds a savory and balanced sweetness. The cocktail is bright and fresh, thanks to a little lemon juice, cherry brandy and a sparkling wine topper.
