We teamed up with our besties at Visit Cambria to share a deliciously simple summer sipper: Ollalieberry Thyme Vodka Lemonade. It's Ollalieberry season in Cambria, and if you didn't know, Cambria and Ollalieberries go together like PB & J.
This simple concoction combines our love for old-fashioned lemonade and sweet summer berries all into one tasty cocktail! Olallieberries are a large juicy summer berry that's part blackberry, part red raspberry, and downright delicious! This cocktail is perfect for a lazy afternoon by the pool (or beach or backyard BBQ). It is sure to be a hit all season long!
Tip: If you can't find olallieberries, you can swap them with blackberries or even a large spoonful of ollalieberry jam!
