Raspberry Thyme Lemonade

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…

Cucumber Basil Vodka Lemonade

Cucumber Basil Vodka Lemonade

I love cucumber herb water. Whether it be made with mint or basil, it’s so refreshing. I thought I would take that concept and make lemonade with it and add some vodka. The result turned out so great! This can be made for your kids…

Cantaloupe Gin Spritzer

Cantaloupe Gin Spritzer

This drink has a very light yet refreshing flavor. The ripeness of the cantaloupe will make or break this drink. I happened to have a ripe, juicy cantaloupe that I was cutting up for my family. I saved a wedge of it (roughly 6-8 pieces) and made a drink out of it before heading out back to the pool. It was just perfect for lounging on a floaty!

Last week I talked about using berries for a few different drinks since I had so many at the house. I did a Bourbon drink and now I thought I would switch it up and do a drink with Rum! This drink takes me back…

Raspberry Bourbon Smash

Right now we are smack into berry season! They are in every store for great prices! My kids love them so I buy about 6 cartons of berries each shopping trip. I was inspired to make a couple different drinks that I would love to share with you! This week I thought I would use bourbon because I am going to be spending the weekend at a local country music festival. It just seemed fitting! It’s a simple drink with fresh raspberries, lime, lime seltzer and bourbon.
