Brand New Drink!

[jkath]

I just made up a drink and I rather like it!

I went out and picked fresh spearmint, and tore it in large pieces and added ice (this was in a shaker). I added cranberry juice and a shot of vodka. Then I added a 2/3 shot of limoncello. Then....
*shake*shake*shake*
Pour over a drink strainer. YUM!
What shall I call it? (or is it already a drink and I'm just dense?)

I don't know what I would call it, but it sounds yummy jkath. Just for giggles I googled the three ingredients on the net and here is what I found.

Limoncello Cosmopolitan

Combine vodka, cranberry juice and a splash of Caravello Limoncello. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with a lemon wedge.

hmmm - but Ah-Ha! I added the refreshing-ness (okay, so I couldn't come up with a better word) of spearmint!
It tastes like summertime, with a kick.

I like the mint idea. Hey, still you thought of it on your own. Keep those creative juices flowing.

Cran Mint Cello ?? okay no that sounds stupid.

CMC?
No, that sounds to much like C+C music factory, or worse yet, the MMC (Mickey Mouse club)
