If you enjoy a tasty, refreshing summer cocktail or mocktail, why not grow your own? You can grow ingredients that make those spirits delicious.
Mint is the easiest herb to grow. It's so easy it may take over your garden if you aren't careful, so plant it in a pot.
Basil, too, is available in several cocktail-worthy varieties... Plant them in full sun and provide water, but account for your climate.
When I have guests, I often muddle sage leaves with vodka and ginger liquor, then add to a glass with ginger beer.
