I hate summer. I hate heat. I hate the sun beating down on me stealthily creating wrinkles. Summer has only a few redeeming features in my eyes. Turquoise blue skies with fluffy clouds, fields of flowers and a profusion of berries. That’s it. Let’s address the third one, shall we? The profusion of berries. Nothing makes my heart beat so happily than a table filled with strawberries, or raspberries, or any other kind of berry. While we have an abundance of strawberries and blueberries, it’s the delicate berries that I am really drawn to. You know the ones that come in the tiny containers and cost a fortune – raspberries and blackberries.
This time I decided to take my cherished blackberries and use them to infuse some vodka. Spread the blackberry love over a drink or two. I found this in Winter Cocktails, which is interesting because this just screams summer to me. Again, I am so drawn to infusions. I love something that does all the work for me. This vodka is summer in a jar. Also, don’t you love my Mason Tap. If like me you use mason jars for just about everything, you will love it!! Looking for some other things to do with your blackberries? May I suggest – Blackberry Fence Hopper or a Blackberry Mint Ginger Fizz.

I love thyme, so the idea of a thyme-infused cocktail is my idea of heaven. I normally have it growing on my deck, but we have construction at the moment, so I’ll have to go buy some at the store or farmers market.
Another delicious drink from you Pam, thanks for sharing with Hearth and soul blog hop, pinning
Love the blackberry and thyme combination, Pam. It just says summer to me! We haven’t been having all that much sunshine this year although we’ve had a few nice days. Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop.
I just found you. I find you to be an extremely funny gal. I feel the same way about summer….every year about this time of year…I’ve just had enough. Berries are truly the gem of the summer! Thanks!
This is such a cool idea! The color looks great, I can’t wait to try mixing it!
You’ll have to let me know what you think! It’s so good and it really adds a little something extra to cocktails!
