Refresh Yourself

Food & Drink April 1st, 2010

The onset of gin-and-tonic weather is always cause for celebration, but why not mix things up a bit with an equally refreshing G-and-T alternative like the Hang Thyme from Danny Meyer’s Mix Shake Stir? Meyer’s book is a constant source of seasonal—and delicious—cocktails, and the Hang Thyme does not disappoint. Beautifully aromatic and strikingly simple, the drink’s visual appeal is enhanced by these gorgeous etched citrus colored glasses from Pied Nu.
