  Lethal but lovely, the thyme really brings out the botanicals in the gin, not as sweet as you think

  After searching high and low i finally managed to find Still Cloudy Lemonade (Sainsbury's taste the difference). This cocktail was lovely and like Sarah said above it wasnt too sweet. I would make this again, not this weekend though as i will be making the Sly's Honey Mule also on this site:o)

  Tasty! Took a lot of 'thyme' to make as we made our own lemonade (great taste and texture, but time-consuming). It packed a 'punch' :)

  I've made it with and without, and I personally don't <think> the sugar is necessary -- without it was just delicious, and really lets the gin stand out. Next time, I think I'll bash the thyme a bit, either with a rolling pin or in a pestle & mortar, since it took a while to really infuse into the drink -- maybe lemon thyme would be yummy. Finally, it tastes so different with different varieties of gin (though I don't know why that came to such a surprise to me!), that it's worth experimenting to find which you like best.
