Gin Thyme Sunset

Move over, Mikes, there's a new favorite hard lemonade in town. This recipe for Gin Thyme Lemonade is one of my favorite summer treats. It has all the fun of a spiked lemonade with a delicious infusion of herbs. It's smooth and sweet, hard and soft. It's the taste of sitting on your porch at dusk and watching the fireflies flicker in the distance - all in a glass. So sit back on that porch swing, snuggle in close to your honey, and get ready to enjoy something truly delicious.
