Preparation
Step 1
Squeeze the juice out of the grapefruits and limes. Filter through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and pulp. Stir the honey in with the juices until dissolved (sometimes I give the mixture a few seconds in the microwave to get the honey really incorporated, otherwise it clumps together when you add the ice).
Step 2
For one drink, vigorously shake the following in a cocktail shaker: a handful of ice, half of the rum, and half of the juice mixture which should be about 2/3 cup of juice, and several torn mint leaves. If you don’t have a shaker, use a jar with a tight fitting lid or just stir it all up in a glass.
Step 3
Pour the drink into the glass with or without the ice (your call! we leave the ice in). Give it all a good stir to get the mint leaves going and top it off with sparkling water.
Step 4

Chef's notes
If you want a stronger drink, serve without the ice and/or sparkling water.
