Pretty? Yup. The sprig of thyme and the pinkish hue are delightfully lovely. And perfect for Easter or spring entertaining. Yummy? YES! The flavors of the homemade blackberry syrup, Hendrick’s gin, and brut champagne combine to thrill the taste buds.

One thing I love about this Blackberry Thyme Sparkler is that it incorporates agave nectar instead of sugar in the blackberry syrup. Whenever you want to substitute agave for sugar, simply use it at a 2:3 ratio. For this recipe, I used 2/3 cup agave rather than a cup of sugar.

You can make the homemade blackberry syrup several days in advance. It will keep in the fridge for at least a week.

Want to know my secret to making the rimming sugar stick to the glass nicely? Rub just a tiny amount of butter between your fingers and lightly rub around the top of each glass before dipping. It works like a charm!
