Mint Refresher
Growing up in a family greenhouse business, my grandparents put everything on hold at 3 o'clock.... Grandpa would always serve the women employees (of age) the classic highball and Grandpa would drink his weidleman's beer. Now I prefer to have a deep dark great lakes porter, that my waistline has to show for it, so I have made up this refreshing low cal virgin cocktail, that makes 3 o'clock break a special time.
Since I grow and sell over 15 varieties of fragrant mint, I try a different flavor every other day in my club soda.
Mint Surprise Refresher
6 Washed Mint leaves You choice of variety.
1 key lime squeezed, add rind in glass (or 1/2 regular lime)
1 leaf of Stevia plant OR 1 tablespoon Slenda
Muddle the above together
Then add lots of crushed ice to the top of glass with club soda water. allow ice to to mingle and serve with straw.
Enjoy a moment to reflect on the day!
Yum! Can't wait to try that one! Mine has to be a virgin drink, or I would fall asleep by 3:30!
Thanks for the post. Some things never change! ANd that's a good thing.
I believe if you add rum it becomes a "Mojito"!
Also for a slightly different taste, you could use brown sugar, if you're not too worried about calorie counting.
Any way you mix it, it sure is refreshing on a hot summer day!
