oh, now i understand. here is a good recipe...
--start with 3 1/2 peppermint leaves and 3 1/2 spearmint leaves.
--tear each leaf into thirds.
--put each leaf portion on a skewer, let sit for 2 3/4 minutes.
--take leaves off skewer and muddle with 13 cubes of ice.
--freeze the muddle concoction for 8 minutes.
--go to the sugar cane field and hack down a sizable stalk.
--in a food processor, puree the sugar cane and let stand.
--have your wife go to the market and buy lime concentrate in the plastic
imitation lime container.
--when you obtain the lime concentrate, shake the lime concentrate with your
left hand behind your back while singing amazing grace.
--once complete, put all the ingredients in a shaker tin.
--take shaker tin and throw it all in the garbage.
--then have a more skilled bartender make your mojito.
