I LOVE Mojitos!!
This Peach Mojito {with Ginger Simple Syrup} is the 7th Mojito recipe on Lemony Thyme and might be my new favorite. Nothing sings summer quite like fresh juicy peaches. Pairing the sweet peaches with ginger simple syrup introduces a lovely depth of flavor you’ll really enjoy.

The Hurricane Cocktail is a New Orleans classic, made famous at Pat O’Brien’s courtyard bar. This cocktail dates back to the end of WWII when whiskey was in tight supply and liquor vendors insisted bar owners buy multiple cases of rum to each case of whiskey.

Happy National Rum Day!!
What better way to celebrate than with a refreshing summery cocktail. The Painkiller Cocktail is a twist on Piña Colada flavors with dark rum, pineapple, orange and coconut finished with freshly grated nutmeg on top. A classic Tiki Drink every mixologist should have in their playbook.

Am I the last person standing who (before today) hadn’t tried Whipped Coffee?? Arguably, this may be the hottest trend to come out of covid cooking. While everyone’s favorite coffee shops were struggling through the early months of the pandemic, caffeine enthusiasts took it upon themselves to whip up these easy-on-the-eyes frothy beverages. I personally have been mesmerized by gorgeous Instagram photos of this coffee concoction for months.

Rosemary Watermelon Juice.
As we head into summer and backyard BBQ’s, there’s a good chance we’ll find ourselves with half a watermelon taking up way too much space in the Frigidaire. I did. Water-melon. Water. Flavored water. Do you see where I’m headed… Continue reading »

It’s very well documented that I have a huge crush on lemon & thyme. So when I spotted this Lemony Thyme Peach Lemonade recipe in BHG magazine it instantly became 1st on the must-make list. Having fresh Georgia peaches at the Farmers Market was our little personal touch. Continue reading »

I asked a simple question to the other B in my life earlier this week. I wasn’t quite expecting her response. “How do you feel about Root Beer?” Hands to the face, audible OMGosh, I LOOOVE Root Beer…YES! omg, omg, omg.

When I discovered today was National Frappe Day I smiled out loud. It’s been years since I’ve had a frappe, yet a familiar fondness remains. I’ve shared before that I grew up just a corn field away from an iconic New England Ice Cream Shop. The very place I discovered my love for Dusty Miller Sundaes and Malted Peach Frappes.

Here’s to a fresh and healthy start to the New Year. I’ve only had my new Vitamix blender for a few days now but I’m certain I’m going to love it. I’ve made Orange Vanilla Vinaigrette and Thai Pumpkin Soup using recipes from the Vitamix cookbook. Both were delicious. This morning I made this Going Green Smoothie without a recipe. We’ll call it a trial run. Continue reading »

Blueberry Basil Lemonade.
One summer when we were small we begged and begged our mom to let us have a lemonade stand. Please mom. We promise we’ll do all the work. As I recall I was about 5 and my sister Sarah 8. We had big plans but were lacking in ‘how to start a business’ experience and the start up capital required, not to mention knowing how to make lemonade. Mom somehow was able to distract us time after time, until we eventually stopped asking. Continue reading »
