Strawberry Lemony Heaven

By Pam Greer 11 Comments

A yummy summer cocktail featuring strawberries, lemon and even thyme! 

Strawberry Lemony Heaven - an easy refreshing summer cocktail you'll want to make again and again!

Remember the Thyme Simple Syrup that I made last week?  Well, I am back this week with a yummy cocktail for you to use it in!  I don’t know about you, but I’m spending a lot of time this summer, sipping easy cocktails, on my screened in back porch.  There is something about the birdies chirping, the buzz of the hummingbirds and the comfort of my old wicker furniture that just soothes my soul.

Strawberry Lemony Heaven - light and refreshing!

What also soothes my soul (masterful segue don’t you think?), is a refreshing summer cocktail.  What makes a cocktail a summer cocktail?  While there is absolutely no reason you couldn’t drink this cocktail all year long, the fresh strawberries and the earthy thyme just scream summer.   The other thing that makes this a great summer cocktail is that it’s so easy – both to make and to drink!  Seriously, this goes down easy and it seems like just minutes later you are looking at your empty glass.

Strawberry Lemony Heaven - a sweet summer sipping cocktail!

I found this cocktail in Wild Cocktails from the Midnight Apothecary: 100 Recipes Using Home-grown and Foraged Fruits, Herbs, and Edible Flowers – my new favorite cocktail book!  I’ll be posting a review on it after I try one more cocktail.

    I love how the lemon brightens up the taste of the strawberries but also balances the sweet! Can’t wait to drink this with my hubby on Thursday! Thanks for another great link party!
