To make the cocktail, muddle figs and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker. Add in a generous scoop of ice, along with lemon juice, 3/4 oz of the thyme syrup, and vodka. Shake until well chilled, then strain into a coupe glass. Top with 1.5 oz hard cider (or to the brim of the glass). Garnish with a slice of fig and a sprig of thyme!
