Mint Freeze

Another day of teleworking, another cocktail! This evening my Sweetheart was over for dinner so he had the amazing opportunity to be a taste tester for a cocktail. Lucky him! Still no baked goods. I thought it would be nice to take a break from summer thoughts and try something minty, the Mint Freeze from Stouffer's Here How! from 1950.

Just look at that description! How Could I pass it up?! 

Sadly I didn't have crushed ice on hand. I was able to crush some by hand but I don't think it was the same.

Using the end of my white rum and some fresh mint form my patio.

There is something just crazy about a bright green drink! I was less than impressed with the bits of mint floating in it. Kinda weird...

Oh so minty!

This was a bright refreshing drink. Tasted more like spearmint rather then plain old mint. It could be the mint leaves. I do not remember what type of mint I planted/borrowed from another place...It looks better on my patio! I think it would taste better with crushed ice or as a snow cone.

My Rating: Interesting but will probably not make again.

Dylan's Rating: Whoa! That's mint! Tastes like a medicine I've had...not bad though.
