My most favorite refreshing drink

My wonderiffic wifey planted me some mint so now we have fresh from the garden variety mint for the most refreshing cuban drink evar! She is so awesome. She takes care of the mint like a pro mint farmer. Soon this mint will have lots of other baby mints for lots and lots of Mojitos!
