Blood Orange Thyme Paloma Cocktail Recipe

Celebrate the season with a Blood Orange Thyme Paloma Cocktail you can sip on and dream about warmer weather.

Citrus cocktails are a perfect cocktail for the winter months because they take advantage of the winter citrus season.

Blood Orange Thyme Paloma served in a tall glass with a sprig of thyme garnish.

Here in Florida, we don't need a reason like the holidays to sip on a sweet herbal cocktail like a blood orange Paloma.

Cocktail Herb Garden

Back in the spring, I planted my Cocktail Herb Garden. My cocktail herbs are still supplying me with fresh herbs like thyme, one of my favorite fresh herbs to use in my recipes.

I have two varieties of fresh thyme growing. Regular thyme which is one of my three favorite herbs to use in soups and stews.

And lemon thyme which was a new thyme variety to me. I don't think I have ever grown it in my garden before now.
