Lime Thyme Gimlet
Hi everyone! It's Nicole, Annette's web manager and friend. It has been hotter than the surface of the sun the past few days in Atlanta. It's just approaching that time of year where the heat becomes oppressive, and our air conditioners and fans kick into overdrive. Since the scorchers have only just begun, I've started looking for refreshing summer cocktails to keep the heat at bay. Enter the Lime Thyme Gimlet, one of Annette's archived cocktails.
I'm planning to try it this weekend, and I hope you do too. If you do, let me know what you think!
