I’m actually not much of a gin drinker myself. More of a brown liquor kind of person myself. But I must say that this cocktail is a breath of fresh air on the cocktail scene. The fizz of soda water puts an effervescent spin on the classic bees knees gin cocktail. Lightly sweetened with honey and the added herbal flavor of thyme, this drink is a fresh delight!
@gretchenbstyling and I had some fun collaborating on this pretty beverage!
