Quick Notes

This is a refreshing, thirst quenching drink that is also modest in the alcohol department so you can sit on a deck and drink a lot of them on a sunny day. It also an eye catcher. Drinks, like good food, should involve multiple senses. This one looks great, smells great because of the mint, and tastes great.
