To make the thyme-infused simple syrup, heat ½ sugar, ½ water and a handful of thyme sprigs until sugar melts. Cool and store in refrigerator.
Add gin, lemon juice and simple syrup to an ice-filled cocktail shaker, shake vigorously, then strain into an ice-filled Collins glass. Garnish with orange, cherry and thyme.
Always drink responsibly.
