After the thaw it tends to be really limp and looses its color very quickly so I don't think this method works well for mint to be used as a garnish. For mint as a flavor, it is pretty easy to make minted sugar syrup or even a mint cordial. You don't get the bright happy of having mint leaves in/on/around your drink, but you can still maintain the flavor profile for the drinks that need it.
