Lemon Grass and Lime Cooler

This is a lovely refreshing drink which can be drunk as it is, or you can add the spirit of your choice and use it as a mixer.    I just love the blend of lemon grass with the ginger syrup and the mint gives the drink a bit of "zing" to it.

The vodka that I added gave an extra zing too..hee hee...
