Stay cool with a strawberry honey mojito

While strawberries, honey and mint make a splendid combination in this seasonal take on the traditional mojito, any fresh berry or tender fruit would work, including blueberries, raspberries, even thinly sliced chunks of pineapple.

Strawberry Honey Mojito

Preparation time, start to finish: 5 minutes. Makes 1 serving.

3 strawberries

5 fresh mint leaves

1 tablespoon honey

1 lime

Ice cubes

1 1/2 ounces light rum

2 ounces soda water

In a tall glass, combine the strawberries, mint leaves and honey. Muddle them until the strawberries are well crushed and the mint leaves bruised.

Juice half of the lime into the glass. Cut the remaining half of the lime into wedges. Fill the glass two-thirds full with ice, then add the lime wedges. Pour in the rum and soda water. Stir gently and serve.
