Cocktail Hour: Make your own Cocktail Garden.
5.10.2011
The sun has arrived!! Time to grow those lovely little herbs to make some yummy cocktails!! I have been collecting some old coffee cans to make into little gorgeous plant holders!! I finally caught the chalkboard buzz and decided to paint them on the cans so I can label what I am planting. I love how they turned out!!
What you will need:
~coffe tins
~Nail + Hammer to make holes
~paint brush
~Chalkpaint
~Chalk
~Dirt
~Herbs (Cilantro, Mint, and Basil are great for cocktail making)
collect a few coffee cans, or any other tin cans you have. Poke a few holes on the bottom to make it a plant holder.
paint a few coats with Chalkpaint and let dry. For planting I used Cilantro, Mint and Basil. I have had great luck planting with Cilantro and Basil from the seeds. I haven’t tried Mint yet, so I picked up some already grown. It depends how patient you are 🙂 Basil usually grows like wildflower from the seed, at least from my experience 🙂
label with chalk!
I made this lovely Mint Ice Tea, a little later in the day I added 2 0z of Malibu Rum and headed to the rooftop to enjoy the sun! And there is a perfect summer cocktail!!
I love this idea. I used to do something similar like this as a kid – decorate coffee tins to make pencil holders. What a chic idea! I just may have to grow some basil myself!
suuuuuch a cute idea!!! i love it!
