George Kamel: 在90年代，车库里放一个冰箱是富有的象征。现在回想起来，虽然当时觉得很贵，但实际上也没花多少钱。拥有一个专门放饮料的冰箱，在当时看来是相当奢侈的。 Rachel Cruz: 我朋友家不仅在车库里有饮料冰箱，还住在死胡同里，这在当时看来是非常富有的象征。而且，我朋友家的车道是环形的，这更增加了他们的财富象征。六年级时，她还穿着很酷的筒袜，这些都让我觉得她家很有钱。住在死胡同里意味着拥有隐私，这在当时也是一种奢侈。现在人们更看重房子本身，而以前人们更看重院子。

Place the glass rim-down into the sea salt and rotate until the sea salt sticks to the rim. Add the mint leaves to a tall glass , then, using a muddler or a spoon, muddle the mint leaves together until the minty smell begins to release. Add all the ingredients and stir.
