Raspberry Thyme Lemonade
This cocktail could be the most refreshing and tasty one I’ve made yet. I don’t actually know if I can confidently say that. They all start blurring together after a while. The brightest for sure though! My husband definitely looks forward to his weekly drink testing. He subtly (or not so subtly) walks around the kitchen asking out loud what kind of drink he should have. If I don’t immediately say I’m going to make him something, he’ll then just ask if I need to make a drink for the week. Bless his heart. Always keeping me on task at his benefit.
What I like about this drink in particular is the flavors of this one could be paired well with whiskey or vodka, so the preference is entirely yours. My husband is a whiskey fan, but if you’re not, then vodka it up, or even try it with your favorite liquor and let me know how it works out. Cheers y’all!
