Hi guys. I am spending #ThirstyThursday here in New York. It’s our last day, so I am hustling the kids around and squeezing in some last minute work stuff before we head back to Seattle tomorrow. But given the day of the week, I guess I am going to have to have a cocktail too… I am going out in search of something awesome that I can bring back to you for a future Thursday post!

Cherry Gin Bramble

IBut for today we have a Cherry Bramble. I know that a “bramble” is usually made with blackberries, so this drink name doesn’t actually make any sense. But it’s #ThirstyThursday, so we are just going to go ahead and look past that.

Cherry Gin Bramble

Basically, I took a Gin Blackberry Bramble and swapped out the berries for the last of this summer’s gorgeous cherries. This is the most simple and amazing summer drink if you are a gin lover.

Plus, it’s just so pretty!!! I feel like you should have friends over this weekend and roll out a platter of these- don’t you think?
