Intensely sweet red fruits pair well with mint and rum, or use as a garnish for any summery drink. Everbearing variety, often fruits in the first year, hardy from zones 5-10 and reseeds easily. Photo courtesy of Baker Creek.
Care: Plant 12-16″ apart with the crown at soil level. Needs rich, well-drained soil, sun to light shade, and 1-2″ of water per week.
Old Havana Rum Garden:
A sturdy tropical grass called sugarcane helped bring rum from the Caribbean to Europe. Now we celebrate island life with rum drinks like daiquiris and mojitos. Our collection is infused with the flavor of the islands, and even features the authentic Cuban mint variety grown in Havana. For a new twist on the classic daiquiri, muddle strawberries, mint, lime juice and herb-infused simple syrup with 1.5 ounces of white rum. For a fizzy drink, top with soda or Prosecco.
Berry Patch: Muddle 1.5 ounces white rum, ½ ounce simple syrup, juice of ½ lime, sprig of mint (like Kentucky Colonel or Cuban Mojito), and Golden Alexandria strawberries. Shake with ice, strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with mint or berry.
