Thyme After Thyme

I love a cocktail that is versatile.  This drink (with a quick tweak) could be just as delicious (and seasonally appropriate) by a fire on a winter night, as it could be poolside in the middle of summer.  It is also the perfect entertaining cocktail, because it is simple to make but has a fun twist that makes it feel special.  What is this magical cocktail I speak of? It’s our Week 2 of our garden series cocktail – the Bourbon Thyme Spritzer.

Bourbon Thyme Spritzer 

• 2 oz bourbon
• 1 oz lemon juice
• 1/2 oz honey (or simple syrup or agave)
• 3 sprigs of thyme

1. Add the above ingredients to an ice filled cocktail shaker.
2. Shake vigorously until the shaker starts to freeze.
3. Strain into a low ball glass with a single ice cube.

**If you are fireside in the middle of December, enjoy your cocktail at this point in thyme time.

4. Add club soda to your liking for a refreshing spritzer spin on this fun drink!
