Instructions

Step 1

Put mint, a splash of club soda, and the honey into the bottom of a highball glass or Tom Collins glass (if you like lots of ice and club soda). Muddle by mashing the ingredients together. Traditionally, a muddler, which looks like a miniature wooden baseball bat, is used, but the handle of a wooden spoon or spatula works fine.

Step 2

Squeeze the juice of the lime into the glass. Add the rum, stirring well.

Step 3

Fill the glass about three-quarters of the way full with ice. Top off with club soda. Stir and enjoy.
