Original: No name; we'll call it an Alejita for now

Well, let's be honest, it's a Mojito-like drink, but with a twist. I have a ton of mint that needed to be used up, but I didn't want to make yet another Mojito.

I created a drink using vodka (approx 1.5-2oz), lemon juice (approx .75oz), raspberry syrup (approx .75oz) and muddled mint, topped with club soda.

It's tasty, but I think I might try to up the raspberry syrup (well, and next time I'll actually measure so that I have an idea of proportions, too) to get more raspberry flavor.

I also think it may be interesting to try a mint julep type beverage using Amaretto instead of whisk(e)y.

Mint is a lot of fun, I really need to buy a plant of my own.
