I love using fresh mint in recipes and this would be a very refreshing cocktail.
A good looking cocktail! Refreshing.
This looks good like to try this
This is an interesting variation. Looks good for a summer drink on the back deck.
It sounds interesting. I bet party guests would like this one!
Good to learn simple recipes if I need to throw a party. I don’t drink alcohol so usually have to look things up if I need to make them! This looks refreshing.
I have mint growing in my garden. This would be a good use for it (besides the tea I usually use it in)
This looks very nice! I would substitute something else for the alcohol, though. But if my family keeps driving me up the wall, I may turn to liquor!!!
I have never had one of these but I sure want to try one I think I would really like the mint in it. Thanks for sharing this recipe and have a nice day.
