Instructions
In a pitcher, combine juice and pulp of 10 limes, 30 mint leaves, and 3/4 cup of extra fine sugar.
Traditionally, you use a muddle stick to to mash this together until mint is “bruised” so as to release the mint oil and the sugar has dissolved. I don’t own an actual muddle stick but a pestle from a mortar and pestle set, a wooden meat tenderizing mallet, or even a large wooden spoon work in a pinch.
Add 1 cup of rum, lots of ice, and some club soda.
You can garnish with extra mint and lime slices if desired.
So refreshing on a hot sunny day!
