Mint Squash and Lemon Mint cooler

 Hi
Whenever we organize a get-together or a party at home, we need welcome drinks and if it is in summer a cold delicious drink would be very nice. I make this squash regularly and the concentrate is refrigerated and is very handy either as a welcome drink in a part or when you have unexpected guests. This drink is very refreshing and definitely my daughter and her friends love it when they have a party at home here
