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 ?

I think one of the biggest misconceptions about hiring a designer is that people assume our clients don’t know what they want. In reality, most of them know exactly what they want.

They know they want a kitchen that feels warm and collected.
They know they want a patio they’ll actually use.
They know they want a home that feels finished.

What they don’t know is whether the white oak cabinets work with the soapstone counters they pinned six months ago. Or if the layout they’re considering is going to annoy them every single day once it’s built.

That’s where we come in. Not because you can’t make decisions. Because some decisions are expensive.
And it’s nice to have someone thinking through all the details before you start ordering materials and moving walls.

So, If you’ve ever looked through our portfolio and thought, “I want my house to feel like that, “this service was designed for you! Or you can explore our other offerings on our website and schedule a discovery call to determine which one is the perfect fit for you!
I know my routines, what I reach for daily, how I want a space to function for me. That part makes designing for myself feel easy. (But making decisions for myself is where things get tricky LOL).

The difference is, I know what’s a non-negotiable for me. I know what actually matters day to day, not just what looks good.

And that’s really how I approach client work too.
It’s not just about picking beautiful pieces. It’s about asking the right questions, understanding how you live, and reading between the lines a bit. What you say you want... and what you actually need can be two different things.

That’s where we come in. We help make sense of it all so your home doesn’t just look good, it works for you in a way that feels natural.

Are you all ready for summer like I am?!? Our team loves pulling all the inspo and things that are shaping our design work each month. June is my favorite... for a lot of reasons, because, one: I’m a total warm weather girl and two: it’s Derrick’s and my anniversary month! I can’t believe we are celebrating 29 years next week!

Anyway, I digress... I’m breaking down all the things in today’s Between The Layers post (live at 5:00 PST). I can’t wait to share with you allllll the things we have our eyes on for projects.

I’m even sharing some items I have been debating for our house because I need your help assuring me I’m not crazy with all these ideas I have brewing.😂
