Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Sugar (for coating rims of glasses)
1 lime wedge
1 cup gold (not dark) rum (such as Mount Gay)
1/2 cup (generous) fresh lime juice
1/3 cup sugar or light agave nectar
4 to 5 cups ice cubes
12 fresh mint leaves plus 4 mint sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Place enough sugar on small plate to reach depth of 1/4 inch. Run lime wedge around rim of 4 Martini glasses to moisten. Dip rims into sugar on plate. Blend rum, lime juice, and 1/3 cup sugar in blender until sugar dissolves. Add 4 cups ice; blend until slushy and almost smooth, adding up to 1 cup more ice, if desired. Add 12 mint leaves and blend until small green flecks appear. Pour into prepared glasses. Garnish with mint sprigs.
