* Friday Cocktail *

TGIF! Sit back and relax this afternoon with a refreshing Friday afternoon beverage. This Friday, we recommend Thyme Lemonade. This is a refreshing cocktail with a kick!


Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 bunch of fresh thyme, plus sprigs for garnish (optional)
2 cups fresh lemon juice (from about 10 lemons)
1 cup gin 

Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, thyme, and 1 cup water to a boil; stir until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, gin, and 6 cups cold water; strain into a large pitcher. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. Serve over ice, garnished with thyme sprigs, if desired. 

Enjoy!
