This sweet and savory lemonade cocktail is incredibly delicious!
I am a lemonade LOVER when the weather warms up. I love it even more when it is infused with herbs… and whiskey.
I have had several lemonade cocktails in my life… but nothing like this. Just by adding a few sprigs of fresh thyme leaves and some ground ginger to a mixture in a saucepan, you can create a spiked lemonade that is unforgettable.
It’s that “extra mile” that you go to make something super-special. We can all relate with that.
Cheers from me to you… and I hope you enjoy this cocktail as much as I have over the years!

Hope i can create a spiked lemonade that no one can forget just like you. I’m a terrible cook when its come to lemonade. Don’t know why but the tastes are different every single time. I’ll do exercises on your recipe. Wish me luck.
