Happy Thirsty Thursday everyone!! I am starting my weekend early with this Raspberry Lemon Drop, which I am itching for today! Somehow my work life has rapidly tumbled out of control again the last few weeks. Here I was thinking I was leisurely enjoying a piece of the summer, and all of the sudden I am dog-tired from work over-extension.

Raspberry Lemon Drop

As a family, we are ready for a little mini-break! We are going to surprise the little kids with a trip to Whistler this weekend. I can’t wait to just relax with my family and if I’m luck, pop back a couple Raspberry Lemon Drops.

I know its so 10 years ago, but I just love lemon drop cocktails! This is like a super summery version of that old classic. By making a syrup from the fresh raspberries
