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 🤍

Well I’m not sure where to start with this beauty... but talk about a diamond in the rough. 
When our clients at #SunValleySaddleHouse came to us and asked if we would walk the property with them after they purchased, we were blown away. And now we are in the midst of a major glow up. This house checks all the boxes for our clients, but they are ready to put their stamp on it. Think Ralph Lauren and Butch Cassidy had a baby.😂
What’s happening? Cue a bar with all the western feels (hint, hint “The Sun Valley Saddle House” was coined with this space in mind), a great room designed to fit a crowd but cozy enough for a family of five, a rec room complete with everything you could imagine for hosting late nights of playing pool, whiskey tastings and Netflix binging. Oh and the bunk room- talk about mountain sleepover bliss.
I can’t wait to continue sharing progress on this one, because well, it may be one of my favorites yet! (Ok, don’t laugh, I know I say that about every project, but seriously....)

Home is a feeling 🤍 And this month’s edit is all about leaning into that. Layering intentional, beautiful pieces that make the everyday feel special. Inspired by our upcoming move to the South (but still with my own little twist), this roundup is everything I actually want right now as we head into fall.
My must-haves from the edit:
1. Gingham tablecloth
2. Animal-print slingbacks
3. Silver flower wall sconce
4. Vintage chair in a fun fabric
5. Fringe bag
6. Onyx sink
7. A new scent to set the mood
8. Metal switch plates
9. Chic matchboxes (never underestimate these)
10. Rattan wall rack
... and this is just a few of the pieces I pulled this month. It’s giving cozy Southern charm meets fresh, refined layers, and I’m so excited to share it all with you.
