We were inspired to make this refreshing cocktail after stumbling across Laurel Path Garden’s Organic Mint Sugar at the farmer’s market in Buda, Texas. It smells (and tastes) fantastic, and looks even better as a garnish on our Tito's mason jars.
If you’re ever at the Buda Farmer’s Market, make sure to pick some up. If you can't make the drive, you can just make some at home.
