No cocktail shaker? Use a travel mug or large mason jar with a lid!

Inspired by summer with a splash of garden goodness - this bourbon cocktail is great for warm weather OR fall with this great combination of flavors. Fresh squeezed orange is a must, and this thyme simple syrup would also taste great with gin or vodka in a martini. Get outside and enjoy this one!

Per Cocktail:

• 2 oz bourbon

• 1 oz thyme simple syrup (see simple syrup recipes here)

• 1 oz fresh squeezed orange juice

• 1/2 oz cold water

• Ice (about 2-3 ice cubes per drink)

• Optional: sprigs of thyme and orange peel for garnish

1. In a cocktail shaker, add all ingredients. Make no more than 4 drinks at a time.

2. Shake hard until your hand is so cold that you can’t hold on anymore (about 30 seconds).

3. Pour drinks into your glass of choice.

4. Garnish with a sprig of thyme or two and an orange wedge or twist. Enjoy!
