  • If making a sugared rim, dip the edges of two glasses in lime juice and then granulated sugar. Set aside.
  • Add mint leaves, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.

  • Strain the cocktail mixture evenly into the glasses.
  • Top each glass with club soda and stir gently.

Notes

Shake or whisk canned coconut milk before measuring because it can separate.
Don't over-muddle the mint, as it can become bitter.
Add club soda just before serving.
Adjust simple syrup to taste.
For a mocktail, omit both rums and increase the club soda to taste.
