Chocolate Mint and Honey Cocktail

We have been including chocolate mint, along with other herbs, in our last few CSA baskets and I wanted to give you all a different way to incorporate them in your kitchens. This cocktail is light and refreshing and includes our farm-made wildflower honey as the sweetner!

* recipe measurements are for a single cocktail*

1 oz of Dry Gin (your prefered brand)

2 slices of lime

5-7 sprigs of chocolate mint

1/2 tbsp of honey

splash of seltzer or tonic water

Take the lime slices, mint sprigs and honey and muddle in a "rocks" glass with a wooden spoon or muddle tool, if you have one. Make sure to get as much juice out of the limes as possible and "bruise" the mint leaves in order to release the flavor.

Once the ingredients are nicely incorporated, add in a good amount of ice cubes, the gin and top it off with the seltzer/tonic. Give it a stir so that all the goodness gets mixed throughout and take a sip!
