I have the hugest mint bush growing outside my front door… come over, we can make some together — you bring the rum, I’ll cut the mint.
Now that is a minty num num!
I make a similar drink called a “Mojita” which is basically the same drink except I put a little plastic umbrella in it and wear a lampshade on my head while I shake.
