I affectionately call this cocktail my vodka mojito. This is a perfect Summer cocktail. This one is calling your name, give it a try!

What a beautiful picture! I just wish it would hurry up and get warm enough here in Seattle to actually sit out on the patio with an icy cold drink!

Not sure about the sugar but trying it just as you suggest, except with Hendrick's Gin, which we usually drink with cucumbers but never thought of the mint, lime or sugar.
