Lawn Boy

• 3 handfuls Ice cubes*6 shots Vodka
• 1 handful Mint leaves*Fill with Limeade
• Sugar to taste

Put the ice in a blender, pour the vodka over it, toss in the mint, and fill with limeade. Blend until smooth, adding sugar little by little until it's just right. More vodka may be added during blending as well.

If you have access to fresh mint, this will make for some memorable (or blissfully forgettable) summer nights. Although Minneapolis has its downsides, sipping these with friends on the porch was not one of them.
