Ingredients
  

  • 8 fresh mint leaves for muddling
  • ½ lime cut into a wheel and then halved for juice
  • 2 teaspoons lime simple syrup or regular simple syrup
  • 3 oz coconut rum for a tropical flavor
  • 1 oz cream of coconut or coconut milk as a substitute for a lighter texture
  • 3 oz club soda to top off the drink
  • Extra lime juice for taste adjustment
Optional garnishes:
  • 1 lime wheel for decoration
  • 1 sprig fresh mint for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon flaked coconut for topping

Method
 

  1. Place mint leaves and lime halves in a tall glass. Use a muddler to gently crush them to release the mint oils and fresh lime juice. Be careful not to over-muddle.
  2. Fill the glass halfway with ice, covering the muddled ingredients.
  3. In a cocktail shaker, combine lime syrup, coconut rum, and cream of coconut. Fill the shaker with ice and shake for about 20 seconds.
  4. Strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass.
  5. Top the drink with club soda, stirring gently. Taste and add extra lime juice if needed.
  6. Garnish with a lime wheel, a sprig of mint, and optional coconut flakes.
