I grow mint, and come August, I end up with a ton of it in my garden. Come August, I’m also starting to wish for ‘cooler evenings’ so, when I found an old cocktail recipe combining the two, I just had to give it a whirl. Come September, I expect to be out of mint. This one’s delicious.
Here we go –

• Crush/muddle big sprig of mint in a shaker
• Add ½ oz of lemon juice,
• 1 tsp of powdered sugar
• 1 ½ oz white Rum
• Cracked ice

Shake ‘til very, very cold. Strain into cocktail glass.
