So good!!! This was the perfect thirst quencher for a really really hot day! I've done mint limeade before, but not with honey. That added quite a nice change and I'll definitely be making this again. I didn't bother with heating the water and honey to make the sugar, just stirred it in a small cup to dissolve. Worked perfectly and didn't have to wait for it to cool off! Thanks for posting!

This is so good and so refreshing. I didn't do the honey syrup so used simple syrup. I was too lazy to do the syrup. I used club soda. At first I thought that 2 ounces of syrup would be too sweet so I used 1 ounce. I tasted it and decided to add the other ounce. DH prefered it with 1 ounce of syrup and me with 2 ounces. Thanks Annacia. Made for Market tag.

What a lovely treat! I have a big patch of mint growing and am so glad that I do! This drink was fantastic and really cooled me off after ANOTHER scorching Texas August day! Thanks so much Annacia for a delicious and refreshing drink recipe! *Made for Bevy Tag!*

This was awsome. Had friends over last night and made this. A few batches I might Add!!! We added rum and it was perfect. Kinda like a mojito (which I love) but different because of the honey flavor. Will be making this often. Thank you
