<p>I've had allergies all spring. Either that, or a cold. Or maybe both. Who knows. </p>
<p>I do know I sometimes get exczema, so I'm always on the lookout for "green" personal care and cleaning products. And here's my latest find...<a href=" http://www.methodhome.com/">method</a>. Actually, to be clear, method found me. Earlier this spring, the method folks emailed me asking me to host a party at their temporary store in New York City. After doing a bit of due diligence, I decided I liked the company's dedication to non-toxic products. And so, I said, sign me up. (To learn more about this, go to the bottom of the method site, click on either FAQ or Company Info.)</p>
<p>The party wasn't your typical "tupperware" fest. In fact, there was little talk of cleaning. Instead, a "mixologist" taught us how to make organic drinks. <a href=" http://www.theliquidmuse.com/">The Liquid Muse</a>...aka Natalie...made the best mojito I have EVER had. Ever. And fortunately, I'm not pregnant or breastfeeding, so I didn't have to consider anything other than my low tolerance.</p>
<p>Here's the recipe for that mojito. </a><br />
<em><strong>Method Mojito<br />
(Recipe created by The Liquid Muse, and inspired by Method Home)</strong><br />
1 heaping tablespoon of peeled, seeded and diced organic cucumber<br />
1 heaping tablespoon of diced organic lime<br />
1 teaspoon raw brown sugar<br />
3-5 torn mint leaves<br />
1 1/2 ounces organic vodka (Square One has a new cucumber-infused one!)<br />
organic sparkling lemonade<br />
Muddle cucumber, sugar and mint leaves in tall glass. Pour in vodka. Fill with ice. Top with sparkling lemonade. Garnish with a sprig of mint or lime wheel. </em></p>
