My good friend always jokes that I love a salad in my cocktails. If I’m out and there’s a drink on the menu with thyme, rosemary, basil or mint in the description, you can almost guarantee that’s what I’ll be ordering. Not only does this pretty pink cocktail have thyme but, it has thyme muddled with fresh raspberries. Sweet, tart, and herby – does it get any better than that?
