Mint

We don’t normally list garnishes, but the humble mint leaf is so much more. Gently muddled with simple syrup, mint leaves make up the base of plenty of famous drinks, like the mint julep and the mojito. The easiest easiest way to keep it on hand is to grow a small pot of it, but many grocery stores now keep small containers of fresh(ish) herbs in the refrigerated section of the produce aisle.

This app ROCKS!!!

I've used a number of mix drink apps, and this one is by FAR the BEST! I've made a couple dozen drinks so far, and they're delicious. It suits my quality wants while (more importantly) suiting my inherent laziness. You put in what you have on hand, and it automatically lists all the drinks you can make! There's info on all the ingredients, which is pretty neat to learn some backstory. What I truly like is I can click an ingredient and it shows how many more drinks I can make. It's pretty fun picking up a new item and seeing 8 new drinks to try. There's a setting on the iPad that locks the app on so people can switch on the mixing app without letting anyone out of it, so I leave it by the bar and people can use it without worry of people snooping around. ;) The combination of all the drinks and this app that makes searching for, and making a drink, easy peezy lemon squeezey, and gives a real feeling of sophistication.
