Watermelon Champagne Popsicles

Scribbled Underline

And in the spirit of easy, I’ll create simple menus full of fresh, seasonal ingredients that require less time in the kitchen. The same goes for cocktails.

This is an easy recipe to tweak to your own liking. I love a hint of herbs in mine so I threw few sprigs of lemon thyme into the simple syrup as it steeped. It’s subtle, but it adds another layer of flavor.
