Honey Mojito
A refreshing summer cocktail made with honey instead of sugar for a sweet result!
Equipment
- cocktail shaker
- muddler (or wooden spoon)
- highball glass (or any glass of your choosing)
- measuring cup or shot glass
- citrus juicer
Ingredients
- 5-7 leaves Fresh Mint (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 oz White Rum
- 1 tbsp Raw Honey
- 1 small fresh lime
- 1/2 cup Seltzer (to taste)
Instructions
- Place 5-6 mint leaves in the bottom of your cocktail shaker and muddle with a muddler or the handle end of a wooden spoon (no need to crush them too much; your goal is just to bruise them enough that they start to give off their delicious flavor)
- In a separate small bowl combine raw honey with rum until well blended. Pour this mixture into your cocktail shaker on top of the mint leaves.
- Squeeze the fresh lime juice into the shaker.
- Add 5-6 ice cubes to your cocktail shaker, place the cover on, and shake until blended.
- Pour contents of shaker (including mint and ice) into a highball glass or any glass of your choosing. Then top with seltzer to taste and add a mint leaf for garnish.
Notes
This recipe can be made virgin by skipping the rum. Just mix the honey with 2oz water instead of rum and add a bit less seltzer.
