    Used this recipe for a september garden party and used up lots of the over grown mint from the garden and made a variety of vegetable and salad dishes in huge bowls from the over-productive allotment adding a whole roast pig on the barbecue. Perfect stuff re-freshing and powerfully relaxing I was possibly a bit excessive with the rum part however still a marvellous recipe. Everyone was very impressed and no one noticed that the rum was a much more budget version than havana club!
