Zesty Spirits: Craft the Perfect Lemon Thyme Bourbon Cocktail

Ah, springtime … the perfect season for shaking up the perfect, refreshing cocktail that captures the essence of sunny days and outdoor gatherings. And let me tell you, I’ve stumbled upon a recipe that’s become an absolute obsession in our household: the Lemon Thyme Bourbon Cocktail from The Roasted Root.

Now, let’s talk flavors. Picture this: zesty lemon paired with aromatic thyme, all infused into a sweet and tangy simple syrup. Add a splash of smooth bourbon into the mix, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate thirst-quencher that’s perfect for sipping on a warm spring afternoon.

Now, what I love most about this cocktail is its simplicity. I mean, we’re talking just a handful of ingredients – including your very own homemade lemon thyme syrup. Put them all together, and you’re in business. It’s like the perfect balance of easy and impressive.

After a long day of soaking up the sun, nothing hits the spot quite like this refreshing concoction. Trust me, I speak from experience. One sip, and you’ll be hooked, craving that fresh hint of thyme with every sip.

Of course, there’s also the presentation — I’m all about making my drinks as Instagram-worthy as they are delicious. A couple of lemon slices, a sprig of thyme – and voila! Cheers to good vibes and even better drinks, my friends 🤍

In another life, I swear l’d be a party planner.
I always say it’ll be casual... and then suddenly I’m setting out linen napkins, picking the perfect playlist, arranging flowers like it’s the Met Gala. I just can’t help it — showing care through the details is one of my favorite ways to love on people.
Hosting has always filled my cup in a way that’s hard to explain — it’s not about being fancy, it’s about making moments feel a little more special.
If you’re the “it’ll be casual” friend too, I see you. Tag your favorite hosting partner, or send this to the friend who understands your version of “casual”!
I’ve been feeling like something was missing in our guest bath for a while now. I loved the cozy yellow walls but I found myself craving something brighter and a little lighter. Enter this linen stripe wallpaper by @sandbergwallpaper 🤍.
We even carried it onto the ceiling—and I highly recommend it. The whole room instantly felt taller, breezier, and more aligned with the rest of the home. Proof that a little pattern can go a long way, especially in small spaces. Living for this buttery moment!

It’s classic. Sophisticated. And somehow always in style.
Think:
- Clean lines and symmetrical layouts
- Vintage-inspired furniture
- Neutral tones layered with soft color
- Traditional details with a fresh twist
