One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to go to Brimfield Antique Show.
I love wandering around the dusty fields packed full of vendors while I find some great treasures to take home. Last year was a banner year. It was incredible. We rocked it!
Well, besides the fun things I find at Brimfield, I love getting Raspberry Lime Rickey’s there. I get them every year from the same vendor. I can’t imagine going and not getting one to sip on while browsing the near by porch full of old books. Just makes a visit complete.
So I couldn’t pass up a chance to make a Raspberry Lime Rickey while featuring berries for this month’s Thirsty Thursday posts. This is a perfect way to enjoy a refreshing drink while enjoying fresh spring raspberries.

I just heard about the Brimfield show. I really want to go now! I’ve also never had a lime rickey. I am missing out!
you totally have to go to Brimfield. It’s awesome. Even just for checking out the weird stuff you come across. ha!
You’re always out doing something fun. Im a little jealous. Ok a lot jealous. I also have no idea what a Ricky is but I want one… as long as he’s hot ;D
Just made them tonight. It was so yummy! My fiancee is from New England and he always talks about this drink. He was very excited when I made it and enjoyed it very much
