makes 2 drinks
12 mint leaves, rinsed and torn into small pieces
2 oz fresh lime juice, divided
1 tablespoon raw sugar, divided
ice cubes
5 oz rum, divided
4 oz club soda, divided
1. Add half the mint leaves, 1 oz lime juice, and 1/2 tablespoon of sugar to the bottom of a 8 oz glass. Muddle the mint leaves. (I used the bottom end of a wooden spoon since I don't have a muddler.)
2. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
3. Add 2 1/2 oz rum and 2 oz soda; stir to mix. Repeat with the second glass.
4. Drink up!
