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 🤍

We hope you can take a look at our Design Guides. We created them for those of you who are asking questions like: “How do I make my home feel cohesive?” Or you are tired of second guessing decisions about styling and designing your home.
Our guides are chocked full of curated furniture recommendations for five different rooms (living, dining, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom) with over 100 shoppable pieces to help you create a space that feels not only right for you, but collected and complimentary. 
Whether you’re starting from scratch or refreshing a few key areas, these guides are a great place to start! Follow along @clouz_houz for more designer tips!
We’ve shared a lot about the move, but this next chapter is about what comes after. The messy middle and the part where we start creating again.
Our new house in Tennessee is officially under renovation, and we’re bringing you behind the scenes! Every step, every decision, every layer. This home will be a space where we can show more of what we do day-to-day: the design process, our approach to renovating, and the details that make a house feel like a home.
Client projects are still the heart of what we do, but home renovations have always been the other side of our story. From #HighDesertTumaloRanch to this new #SixthStreetBungalow home, we’ve learned that the process matters just as much as the final reveal.
We’ll be sharing more here and even deeper tutorials and stories over on YouTube (link in bio- our first video for this project will be hitting our channel soon). From design breakdowns to sourcing tips to the real BTS that doesn’t make it to Instagram.
Here’s to new beginnings, familiar chaos, and a home that is inspiring + testing us all over again.
Comment ‘LINKS’ and l’ll send you the best faux magnolia on the market (IMO).
We just moved, so my usual decor stash is slim (I’m knee deep in demo and boxes!), but when I’m in a pinch I will lie magnolia branches together down the center of a table for instant ambience and a festive touch.
l’ve rounded up the best of the best faux magnolia garlands for you to get this look throughout the season.
Drape on the mantel, sweep a banister, frame a mirror, or run down the table with a few tapers… done!
