Recipe- Easy And Refreshing Mojito

Mojito (a classic Cuban cocktail) is a blend of rum, sugar, lime juice, mint leaves and club soda. We’re keeping the sugar low in this version and swapping granulated sugar (or simple syrup) for honey. It’s delicious, easy, refreshing and the best mojito around!When it comes to cocktail recipes I’m a pretty simple girl. I definitely gravitate toward easy to make, lower sugar cocktails with few ingredients. I also gravitate toward rum and vodka-based cocktails that are clean, crisp and not fermented from grains. Case in point: the Bacardi rum used in this recipe is fermented from molasses.

Ingredients

10 fresh mint leaves
1 tsp honey
1 lime, juiced
1 cup ice cubes
2 ounces white rum
club soda

Method

* Add the mint leaves, honey and lime juice to a highball or collins glass. Use a muddler to gently muddle the mint leaves, but don't muddle too much as you don't want to break the leaves up.

* Pour in the rum, then fill the glass 2/3 of the way full with ice.

* Top it off with club soda, add a sprig of fresh mint, add a straw and enjoy.
