Lime and Mint Punch
We love growing our own fruit and vegetables. Eating from your own garden is something we really love. This drink I decided to make as we grow mint, and it grows like crazy.
This is great for parties as you can make a large quantity with no cocktail shaker in sight.
This is basically a version of a Mojito (which I have posted before), but this is made for large quantities and is very easy.
I made only two glasses to try for me and my husband, but this is definitely something I will be making for parties that I have in the future.
Super easy, super tasty, very refreshing.
