Go to your greenhouse of choice and buy a couple of pots of Mint. take them home and plant them in a spot that gets partial sun, preferably a spot that doesn't dry out quickly.

then get some rum, some club soda and some limes, make a batch of simple syrup.

Practice until you have your own perfect mojito

I prefer mine with an amber rum, Cruzan works for me because I can't get OCD about the rum when simple syrup is added to the cocktail.

I also don't care much for the fizzies, so I tend to use a sparkling water instead of club soda-- the fizz isn't as pronounced ( just my opinion).

MMMM MMM MMMM nothing better on a hot afternoon ( not that we ever have too many of those in Maine).
