catnip juleps?
I had it in my head to make mojitos today. I havent had a drink in quite some time, as it hasn't been of interest to me in the least for a few months now. I am not much of a drinker, but I have had my fair share this year, and that isn't like me.
However, a refreshing mojito sounded nice. I invited (e:pyrcedgrrl) to come over and have one with me.
I made sure that I had everything I needed: Bacardi, limes, sugar, club soda, ice and mint.
I grow mint in my garden, so ofcourse I choose to use those fresh leaves instead of a store bought variety ( or syrup, gasp!)
As I am mashing the mint, I begin to wonder if my sense of smell is off today. It smells minty.. yet it doesn't.
Asking (e:pyrcedgrrl) what she thinks is not fruitful, as she is just coming off a cold and can't smell much.
So I proceed to make the drink and everything appears fine. It even tastes fine.. but not quite like the mojitos I made in the past.
Then I wonder what exactly I picked from my garden...
and I wonder.. did I make a mojito using spearamint?
or catnip??? hahaha
It still tasted good whatever it was I used.
