Day 6: What To Do With Mason Jars?

I'm not sure why, but mason jars and the seven million things you can potentially do with them are all the rage on Pinterest.
Turn mason jars into candles, mason jars into spice holders, mason jars into lights, mason jars into flower holders, mason jars to drink out of (not sure why that is a craft!). You can even put all the ingredients for pasta salad or brownies or cookies into a mason jar and give it as a gift.
However, do know what was missing?!?!  The best gift EVER!  A mojito in a mason jar! No, not pouring a mojito into a mason jar, but filling a mason jar with fresh mint, a tiny bottle of rum, a drink umbrella, a recipe and some sugar cubes.  I even fit a small lime in there!  All you have to do is muddle the sugar and mint, squeeze the lime and add some club soda!
By far the most practical mason jar recipe gift (unless the gift is for a child, then it's completely inappropriate).
I didn't get around to it this time, but in the future I could also monogram the jar which could be a nice touch!
Tomorrow.... Watermelon mojito Popsicles, mini cannolis and refurbishing old t-shirts with two of my friends!
