Even though summer seems to be coming to a quick close, I’m still in the summer drink making mode. Today’s Raspberry-Thyme Smash as originally posted by Bon Appetit is excellent although powerful. This lightweight felt a buzz after the third sip. Not surprising since there is 1/4 cup of Gin in one glass.
