Prepare the Glass
Start by chilling your cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the cocktail.

Muddle the Thyme
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh thyme sprigs. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the thyme to release its oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
