Thyme of Your Life Cocktail

Herbs in cocktails is one of my new favourite things. Adds such a depth of flavour. Whether they’re muddled, infused, or simply snipped for a pretty and fragrant garnish, fresh herbs make a wonderful addition to summer cocktails.

A perfect pairing is gin and thyme, thyme adds that woodsy scent and flavour to the drink. My Thyme of Your Life cocktail mix is a perfect drink for that Saturday afternoon. You can also put on Dirty Dancing if you really want to elevate the experience 🙂 Who doesn’t want to drink and watch this classic film with Patrick Swayze?

Also check out my other cocktail recipe Act of Union for a different vibe. It’s one of my favs!

You can enjoy this cocktail all year round, it’s refreshing and a little tart. I snacked on salted nuts with herbs and a little arugula salad while sipping this one.
