Cool off with a mint and basil mojito on the 4th
When July rolls around in Louisville with its caressing warmth, all you want is a steaming hot cocoa right? Sorry, that was mean. An ice cold cocktail starring refreshing lime and mint fits the bill when our town is swaddled in a heated damp wool blanket.
Mojitos are my summer cocktail of choice, and my little herb garden makes them just a bit more interesting with the addition of basil. (I learned this purely by accident when I didn’t have enough mint, but it works!)
