This drink sounds delicious! Might even make myself a glass later on today =)
The drink looks great. Perfect for a summer’s day.
Lemon is always refreshing and mint can always boast of its soothing effects. That is a powerful combination. A must try!
Any cool, refreshing summer drink plus gin is a win for me! I’ve got a cucumber gin mojito going up on my blog later today. Thanks for the recipe!
Your photos of drinks are beautiful! I had my first photo shoot of cold drinks other day and it was so difficult! This one looks really refreshing and you captured it so well. Now I’m thirsty and ready for this drink!
Thank you. You are right.. drink photos are quite difficult. I said the same thing to my husband that I work more for drink photos than for the others.
What a great new cocktail!! Love the idea of using peppermint tea and both lime and lemon! I just selected tomorrow’s afternoon cocktail. What a great way to start the weekend!
