I've seen on Pinterest where people chop up herbs and freeze with olive oil. Then later on you can just throw the EVOO+herb cube into a pasta recipe. Maybe not the best for mint (add to cocktails for sure!) but should work for the other two.

For starters, I'd rip out the mint and put it in a pot instead, because that shit spreads like nobody's business, and you don't need much for cocktails.
Ditto for the thyme. It is really hearty, and can easily handle a serious pruning.
You can make a really good parsley pesto, and probably freeze that. I also add fresh diced parsley to all sorts of soups. Makes everything taste a little better.

I love making fresh pesto type sauces and yogurt dressing with herbs. I just wing it but a cup of soft herbs (not thyme) blended with red wine vinegar, citrus juice, and olive oil is so good on meats and veggies.
A handful of mixed herbs blended with plain yogurt, lime juice, a squirt of honey or agave, a garlic clove, and some cumin is my favorite variation on green goddess dressing.
