I've actually never thought about that, but it would be a really cool idea! Imagine mowing the lawn, and instead of fresh cut grass, fresh cut mint! Best regards, PJ.

Over the past 25 years I've produced a few hundred gallons of peppermint and spearmint schnapps that generally ran about 80 proof. However one year I made a drink called Peppermint Jim's Kentucky Mint, which ran a little over 100 proof!

Well, they'd have to legalize it first! LOL but mint is plenty for me.

The coolest thing I would do is make a class project out of it! Cut your mint when it's blossomed, and bring it in. Let the kids see it, touch it, and smell it. Then hang it upside down and dry it. Once its dry (typically in about two days) strip the leaves off the stem. This is how you make tea! Let them know too if they crush it in hand, it will be as aromatic as if it were fresh! That will give them all something to remember when they get older! Good luck and best regards! PJ

I call it Peppermint Jim's dirty Mojito. Think tradition mojito; lime juice, sugar, carbonated water and fresh spearmint. The secret? Spiced rum instead of clear rum.
