Pro Tips
-
For the syrup: simmer equal parts sugar and water with chopped fresh plums and thyme sprigs until the plums break down. Strain and cool.
-
If your plums are very sweet, you can reduce the syrup slightly to keep things balanced.
-
Use chilled club soda to keep the fizz sharp and refreshing.
