\"boozy<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t mind, I\u2019d like to take a stroll over to fantasy land for a moment.<\/p>\n

You know, the one where you have your own private island, endless free time, and people to fan you with palm leaves while you sip something delicious?<\/p>\n

\"mint,<\/p>\n

Maybe we can even keep this fantasy going into a world where I don\u2019t have to work on Memorial Day? Perhaps I\u2019m throwing a leisurely party instead? The kind where everything is done ahead of time, including drinks made in a large batch? Why yes!<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Well\u2026 anyway. Let\u2019s get real.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re lucky and your reality doesn\u2019t involve working on a holiday, I\u2019m willing to bet you\u2019re hosting a party. I\u2019d also bet you\u2019d like to serve up a refreshing drink that can be made in mass quantities ahead of time!<\/p>\n

And look at that: I happen to have one right here.<\/p>\n

\"gathering<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not gonna lie \u2013 there is a lot of lemon juicing involved in this recipe. It\u2019s good to have a hubby around who\u2019s willing to work for his drinks.<\/p>\n

\"muddling<\/p>\n

Muddling is a great stress reliever.<\/p>\n

\"boozy<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m not going to say that the two of us made this pitcher this afternoon and boozed our way straight through to tonight\u2019s Mad Men\u2026<\/p>\n

But\u2026 I\u2019m not going to say that we didn\u2019t either.<\/p>\n

What I will say is this: my jaw is still on the floor after that episode. Woah. Woah!<\/p>\n

Boozy Mint Lemonade<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

This recipe is for a pitcher of 8 drinks, but as long as you keep the same proportions, you can make any size batch. To make individual drinks, muddle a few mint leaves & cucumber slices with the syrup in each glass, then add ice and remaining liquid.<\/p>\n
