Ingredients
Makes 2 drinks
For the Raw Sugar Syrup
For the cocktail
Make the Raw Sugar Syrup
Step 1
In a kettle or microwave, heat the water until nearly boiling. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves completely. Raw sugar needs more time to dissolve than granulated sugar. If it’s taking a while, reheat it and resume stirring. Let cool to room temperature before using. Makes approximately 7 ounces.
Make the cocktail
Step 2
In a blender, combine rum, lime juice, Raw Sugar Syrup, and mint leaves and add 2 cups of ice. Blend until smooth and divide between two glasses of choice. Lightly tap the mint sprigs against your hand to release their aromatic oils before adding to the glasses.
For 6 drinks or 4 big ones, follow the directions as here with 9 ounces rum, 6 ounces lime juice, 6 ounces raw sugar syrup, 1½ cups mint leaves, and 6 cups of ice.
