Grow Fresh Herbs for Your Cocktails with AeroGarden
It’s not to cold for an indoor herb garden. The AeroGrow AeroGarden Garden Kit is the world's first kitchen garden appliance. Grow fresh and delicious herbs for great herbal cocktails. No dirt, no mess, no green thumb needed. Each unit contains "plug'n grow" seed pots, built in glow lights, aeroponic optimizing chamber and computerized smart garden technology. Here are my picks to get you harvesting your own mint fast:
Sazerac
A great drink for rooting on the New Orleans Saints or partying during Mardi Gras.
Depths of Titicaca
A fruity Peruvian inspired drink.
Tarragon Mojito
Sub Rosa Tarragon vodka has a slight note on anise, only lighter; almost delicate and herbal. A nice herbal licorice note combined with fennel and a bit of mint on the back of the palate makes this a great base for a sophisticated drink. Just a twist of lemon peel makes a great martini. A touch of Limoncello or Yellow Chartreuse nice too.

Infuse Your Cocktail Party
| From New York to L.A., infused vodkas and the creative cocktails made with them are all the rage at trendy bars. And while infused vodkas add a stylish twist to any cocktail, they are surprisingly easy to make. The fresh, vibrant flavors of infused vodka are perfect for holiday entertaining. Why not impress guests at your next cocktail party with custom infusions you make yourself? |
Mojito Party
Mojitos are a refreshing minty treat, but they can take some time to prepare, and if you're entertaining a large group you may not want to make each mojito individually or burden your guest with the task of muddling their on. Here's a recipe that you can conviently prepare ahead of time.
Start with a bunch of mint. See the illustration to get an idea of what a bunch is. I think it was about 30 - 40 sprigs from the garden.
Put the mint in a large infusion jar (capacity of at least 140oz)
