Ingredients
1 lime, cut into 16 pieces, plus more for garnish
16 fresh mint leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1/2 cup white rum
Seltzer water
Instructions
Divide the lime pieces, mint leaves, and
sugar evenly among 2 (12-ounce) glasses. Using a muddler, mash the lime pieces and bruise
the mint leaves while dissolving the sugar. Add enough chipped ice to each glass to fill.
Add 4 ounces of rum to each glass, then use a cocktail shaker to combine and thoroughly
chill each drink separately. Pour the contents of the shaker back into the glasses and top
each drink with a splash of the seltzer water. Garnish the glasses with lime and mint
sprigs.
