Out of no where our grocery store is filled to the brim with these gorgeous yellow lemon plums. Anyone else rolling in Lemon Plums? I hope so!

Plum Vodka Spritzer

They are a little sweet, but way more sour- and I love them that way. In direct opposition to the health kick that I think I am on, I have really been into ice cold vodka sodas with a splash of lime lately. Like maybe nightly- jeez. (Don’t worry- just one).

Plum Vodka Spritzer

So when I saw these plums, I thought I should definitely add these to my almost nightly ritual and turns out it was a good idea. The cold vodka and bubbly water are so crisp and clean and then the plum just gives it a subtle shot of sweet and sour. Perfect for a #ThirstyThursday…
