Yes, just multiply the ingredients to your desired serving size (use the slider at the bottom of the recipe card.) You’ll want to muddle the mint in a bowl and then dump it into a pitcher.
👩🏻🍳 Expert tips
- Dark rum doesn’t “disappear” in a cocktail like white rum does. Non-rum drinkers probably won’t love this one, but you can always use Sprite instead of club soda.
- Slide a lime slice inside the glass for an extra pretty presentation. And use a mint sprig as a garnish too.
