Honey Flavors and Colors
Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.
Directions
Prepare the Honey Lime Mint Syrup:
1. Heat all of the ingredients for the Honey Lime Mint Syrup in a saucepan and bring to a full boil. Immediately remove from heat and let stand until cooled to room temperature. Strain the mint leaves through a fine mesh strainer, discard the mint leaves, and refrigerate the syrup in a sealed jar until ready to use.
Prepare the Mojitos:
2. To prepare one cocktail, fill a glass with ice, and chopped (or muddled) mint leaves. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons (to taste) of the honey lime mint syrup, 2 ounces of white rum, and fill the remainder of the glass with sparkling water. Stir well and squeeze fresh lime juice over the cocktail before serving.
3. To prepare a large batch of mojitos, add all of the syrup to a large pitcher, along with 2 to 3 cups of white rum (depending upon desired strength). Stir well, then add 2-1/2 to 3 25-ounce bottles of sparkling water (such as Pellegrino). Stir well again and pour mojitos into glasses with ice and chopped (or muddled) mint leaves.
Yield: 12 mojitos
