I tried this strictly according to recipe for the first two drinks. I changed it up for the next drinks. (1) There’s too much lime in this recipe for me. I changed it up to use lemon — about half, which complements raspberry so very nicely. (2) Doubled the simple syrup b/c with that quick boil, you don’t get a sweet berry-y reduction that you expect. (3) Red gin works beautifully. I happened to run out of the other gin I was using and had some red gin. Nice surprise. (4) Made some fresh carbonated water in our Arke III - nice for that seltzer blast — which should be fresh and sparkly to make this super sweet and refreshing. Enjoy!

Loved this! Incredibly easy and very refreshing. I didn’t have any lemon thyme so I used rosemary instead and it worked really well! Would definitely recommend this recipe.
