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!!
