We like the word crafted. We handcraft so many of the details on our jeans. We’re proud of our heritage of craftsmanship. And we craft our denim to fit absolutely perfectly. In honor of our unofficial favorite word, we’d like to invite you to craft something too—the ultimate refreshing spring cocktail! We heart this one from The Lifestyled Blog.

Blood Orange + Thyme Paloma (+ Yummy Amazingness)

HOW TO MAKE IT

2 oz silver tequila
4 oz all natural blood orange soda (I used Whole Foods brand)
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
leaves of 3 sprigs of fresh thyme, roughly chopped
thyme sprig for garnish
1 blood orange (slices for garnish)
sea salt

Combine the salt and thyme on a small plate. Use as much or as little salt as you like – I like to mix in a little sugar too since I don’t like too much salt. Crush the mixture together with your fingers. Wet the rim of a glass with lime and cover with the thyme salt. Add in a few ice cubes, and then top with the tequila, lime juice, soda and stir. Garnish with a blood orange slice and thyme sprig.

We like to call this our sit-outside-and-watch-the-sunset drink. Do you love it? Rather leave it? Talk to us below!
