Method

Muddle the Mint:

In your glass, add the fresh mint leaves and honey. Use a muddler or a wooden spoon to gently crush the mint. This releases the essential oils and gives the cocktail its refreshing flavor. Avoid over-muddling, as this can make the mint taste bitter.

Add Lime Juice:

Pour in the fresh lime juice. The acidity of the lime balances the sweetness of the honey beautifully.

Mix in the Rum:

Add the white rum to the glass. You can use a jigger to measure for accuracy. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.

Add Ice:

Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some room at the top for club soda.

Top Off with Club Soda:

Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Give it a gentle stir to mix.

Garnish:

Add a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on top for an extra touch of flair.

Serve and Enjoy:

Sip on this refreshing Honey Mojito, and enjoy!

Variations

Fruity Twist: Add fresh fruits like strawberries, mango, or berries for a fruity mojito. Simply muddle the fruits along with the mint in the first step.

Spicy Kick: Add a few slices of jalapeño for a spicy mojito. Muddle them with the mint for a flavorful punch.

Non-Alcoholic Version: Omit the rum and use more club soda or sparkling water for a refreshing mocktail.

Tips and Substitutions

Honey Substitute: If you’re vegan, you can substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup. Both will provide a similar sweetness.

Dietary Needs: For a low-calorie version, use a sugar substitute like stevia in place of honey.
