Honey Lemon Thyme Cocktails
I’m raising a glass and taking a break this evening.
Instead of blogging about our day at the farm I am going to join my two favorite guys and sip these lovely cocktails while we relax for the first time all day. I invite you all to clink glasses with someone you love and disconnect from the world for a while. If you are in need of a refreshing and absolutely delicious cocktail these are them! Cheers.

Oooh, this cocktail looks like a really refreshing drink for warm, sunny days. I crave cool lemony drinks in the summer, so I’ll definitely keep this one on the list.
Let me know if you try this!
I tried it! Really great! My family loved this so I made a big pitcher. It needs a better name tho. The bee’s knees? Thyme for cocktails?
Yay!!! I’m so happy you loved it too! Yes, we will have to work on a different name 🙂
Hope you enjoyed your night….these cocktails look delicious!
Thank you! It was a lovely evening.

Honey simple syrup is the best!

So beautiful, lady! I can taste the crisp, earthy, sweet flavors through my computer screen. Love that you made an ahhh-dult treat with the vodka. Hope you had a wonderful evening with your boys 🙂
Cheers, Andrea! This is precisely my kind of drink. Hope you get to kick back a little this weekend!
That does look refreshing!!!
These are just gorgeous! Love the lemon+honey+thyme combo. Hmmm I think I have a bottle of vodka in the freezer just meant for these. Hope you got some relaxing in this weekend, lady!
Disconnecting sounds blissful, as does this cocktail. It’s gorgeous.
Ohh, these look excellent.
Delicious drink but I had to cut the amount of lemon juice in half, otherwise the lemon was overpowering. Will be making again
Tried it , was a perfect cocktail for a sunday evening . thanks for the recipe
