Chilly Mint
At long last (drumroll please), we have decided to make public the official 'Chilly Mint' recipe.
At first we resisted the demand, but the drink proved too popular and we have been begged, threatened, blackmailed, bribed, and otherwise extorted to release it!
We know this is probably a big deal for you, and may ruin the plans you have for the rest of your day, but please take time to read our important disclaimer (bottom) before mixing and consuming this beverage.
The 'Chilly Mint'
1) Muddle, chop, hammer, beat, or squeeze a little or a lot of the following: fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced fresh ginger, and some lime wedges

OK - here it is:
The 'Chilly Mint'
1) Muddle, chop, hammer, beat, or squeeze a little or a lot of the following: fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced fresh ginger, and some lime wedges
2) Toss ingredients into a shaker or an old empty jerry can and add a few drops of sugar syrup and aromatic bitters to taste. We prefer diesel jerry cans over gasoline
3) Add as much high or low quality gin as you dare, keeping in mind the repercussions this may have on your boat and your friends' reputations (or police records)
4) Thinly slice a cucumber long ways and add a handful of the shavings to the mix, then let whole thing 'chill out' in the fridge or freezer for a bit to infuse
5) Since there is a lot of prep involved, we recommend making large pitchers of the infused gin, then keeping them in the fridge until ready to serve. *Do not attempt to fill your fresh water tanks with this mix, as the cucumbers will clog your water pumps*
6) Throw a handful of ice into a glass of your choice, fill half way with the gin mix, then top it off with some gingerale, soda, tonic, or whatever kind of fizzy stuff you have
7) Hide your boat keys, any sharp objects, and your cameras well away before consuming the Chilly Mint - a locked cabinet is best
