Combine water, sugar, and fresh thyme sprigs in a medium pot and heat on the stovetop over medium heat. Once the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove off of the heat, discard the thyme, and place the simple syrup in a container in the refrigerator to cool.
In a large pitcher, combine fresh lemon juice, cranberry juice, vodka, and cooled simple syrup. Stir to combine.
Add in club soda and stir gently to combine.
Serve over ice with a lemon wheel and fresh thyme sprig for garnish, if desired.

Notes

Lemon Juice - Fresh lemon juice is preferred, but store-bought will also work. Simple Syrup - Fresh thyme can be omitted for a plain simple syrup. Club Soda - Water can be used for less fizz or sparkling wine or champagne could be used for an extra bubbly treat! Non-alcoholic - Replace the vodka with more club soda. Punch - Double the recipe and serve it in a punch bowl.
