Summer has been so hot and humid this year, so when I get home I try to do whatever I can to cool off…Needless to say, weeknight meals and Friday night cocktails have been on the lighter side. I had found this cocktail in Sante magazine a while ago, and saved it to try. It was so delicious and refreshing, the mint really brings something lovely and ethereal to the drink…it was just perfect for this evening…
