Ingredients
1/2 tablespoon finely grated lime zest, for optional rim
2 tablespoons superfine sugar, for optional rim
6 to 8 fresh mint leaves, torn
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice, from 1/2 large lime
1 teaspoon raw granulated sugar
2 ounces light rum
3 tablespoons coconut puree
2 to 3 ounces club soda, to taste
Fresh mint sprig, for garnish
Lime wheel, for garnish
Preparation
Gather the ingredients
If you like, rim a double old-fashioned glass with lime sugar: In a shallow dish, combine the finely grated lime zest with the sugar. Wet the glass rim with a piece of lime then roll the rim in the lime sugar, shaking off any excess.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the torn mint leaves, fresh lime juice, and raw sugar. Muddle well to dissolve the sugar.
Add the rum and coconut puree, and fill the shaker with ice.
Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds.
Strain into the rimmed glass over fresh ice.
Top with soda and garnish with the mint sprig and lime slice.
