Zesty lime and mint virgin cocktail, Kiku Corner 4

I’ve lived both in England and at sea, two infamous places for excessive drinking. Let’s just say that I learned to comply with the local customs. These days, my bestie is pregnant and I’ve had to become more creative with my virgin cocktails. Although she’s probably happiest with a non-alcoholic beer, I’ll try this zesty mint virgin cocktail out on her next time. Just keep in mind that a generous shot of white rum would be a delicious addition to serve to any non-pregnant friends.

I love fresh mint and plan to start a mint garden this summer on my porch. I didn’t have much luck growing anything last year – I harvested three cherry tomatoes in October and that was it. I’m thinking about spearmint, chocolate mint, and pineapple mint. All would be tasty and refreshing additions to any virgin cocktail!
