Instructions
- Muddle Lime and Mint: Add the lime quarters and fresh mint to the cup of a cocktail shaker. Gently muddle the mint and lime together to release the lime juice and essential oils from the mint leaves, creating a fragrant base for the drink.

- Shake with Ice: Add a handful of ice to the shaker. Place the shaker lid securely and give it a few vigorous shakes to chill the mixture and blend the flavors thoroughly.

Notes
- Use fresh mint and lime for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of club soda based on your preference for fizziness.
- Lite coconut milk gives a subtle creaminess without overpowering the drink.
- Can be made non-alcoholic by omitting the coconut rum and adding extra club soda or pineapple juice.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.
