Luscious  Golden Lemon ~

 

 

 

Thought our Easter celebration could use a pretty little

citrus- cocktail infusion. So, I came up with this 

signature cocktail:

 

 

 

 The Meyer Lemon-Thyme Drop.

(You know me…with my herb obsessions!)

It’s super simple. The magnificent Meyer, gives the 

 

 

libation a golden  richness and there is 

just a hint of earthy  thyme, thanks to a

 a batch of my

 

 

lemon-thyme  simple syrup.

It’s half vanilla sugar, half

        not…with a few springs of fresh thyme

thrown in. Add good Vodka, lots of ice…

 

 

shake and

pour. Love this gorgeous &

vintage, gold rimmed

 

 

glass, from my sister, Barbara, especially

encrusted with jewel-like 

Meyer Lemon sugar!!! Oh MY!

 

 

 

Mother nature got it right when she

created the lovely lemon.

Cheers!!
