Fruity Herbal Cocktail

Posted by Kathy on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 · 2 Comments

Sweet juicy raspberries muddled with thyme then mixed with gin and lemon creates a refreshing cocktail you don’t want to miss.

Okay, it’s not raspberry season but I did find these on sale so I feel less guilty about eating out of season. These were perfect, ruby red juicy raspberries and I had to stop myself from eating them all while I was making my drink.

I love the juniper flavor from the gin and it really works well with the fresh thyme. My raspberries weren’t local but I did use a local North Carolina gin called Cardinal Gin. This particular gin has some mild citrus and mint flavors too. If you can get it in your area you should give it a try.

What else do you think would be good with raspberry and thyme?

I love thyme in shakes like this lemon thyme shake:
