Saturday cocktail time! Let's celebrate the weekend with a grapefruit thyme gin and tonic 🥂.
This past week was a looooong one (a couple steps "back" in the back injury department 😑) so I figure we deserve a little happy hour treat youwithme?? I decided to jazz up the classic gin and tonic with a little fresh grapefruit juice and thyme sprigs for a citrusy summer feel. Having said that, it's still super simple to make!
Step 1: Muddle gin, juice, thyme sprigs, and a little grapefruit peel in a cock tail shaker.
Step 2: Pour into glass over ice.
Step 3: Top with tonic and garnish.
That's it! Just 4 ingredients and a splash of tonic. Happy hour on our new and improved deck in the sun is a go!
