Clearly I have a thing with stone fruits right now.  Yesterday I hit you with my peach caprese salad and today I am hitting you with a cocktail featuring a friend of the peach, the plum.  I feel like plums sometimes get left out, or at least in our house they do.  I'm not sure why because when ripe they are sweet and juicy and I happen to be quite fond of them.  Is it because all of the other fruits at the market sit with more vibrant colors, obnoxiously calling out to me as I pass "pick me, pick me" and the plum sits quietly, patiently waiting for the right customer to know it's value?  Well whatever the case, I went for the plums this week and I think I'm going to continue to give them the attention they deserve.  My plum and thyme prosecco smash highlights these beauties in the best way and is the perfect drink to serve for brunch over the weekend!

One of the things I miss most about brunch on the weekends is a great cocktail.  It's such a treat isn't it?  To have that bloody mary or bubbly at 10 or 11 in the morning...just starts the day off right. I'll be fixing my plum and thyme smash with sparkling water while I serve the real deal to the hubs, but at least I won't feel so left out.  I know, small sacrifices for growing a human...
