Things To Grab

Directions
- Place the blackberries in a food processor with the thyme leaves. Pulse 30 seconds. Push the blackberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl to remove seeds, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Combine the blackberry puree, ice, tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, syrup (if using), and 1/4 cup sparkling wine into a blender. Puree until smooth and well combined; add additional sparkling wine if you want a thinner consistency. Divide between glasses, and garnish with additional thyme and the reserved blackberries.
