Ingredients

Place enough mint in the bottom of a mortar and pestle and grind with a tablespoon of vodka until it's a green pulp. Put the mint paste into a mason jar with vodka and refrigerate overnight, or over several days until the vodka is a greenish color. The longer you keep the mint in, the stronger the mint flavor will be. Filter out the leaves with a cheesecloth or tea strainer and keep the vodka refrigerated.
Serve several ounces of the green vodka with a splash of Blue Curacao over ice. Add soda water if desired. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint (or an orange slice).
An alternate, but still prevalent, form of the drink (excluding mint) can be made with vodka, blue curacao, gin and lemon-lime soda served over ice.
