Jammy berries and fragrant thyme
star in this Raspberry and Thyme Royale – a fruity, fizzy twist on a Kir Royale
cocktail. The raspberry purée gives the drink a pretty summery hue, while the
bubbles create a special-occasion feel – an English sparkling wine will work especially
well. In autumn, you could swap the raspberries for blackberries and the
framboise for crème de mûre or cassis.
