Notes
Fresh lime juice makes a big difference in flavor; bottled juice is more bitter and you may want to use less of it.
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup to taste.
To make a large batch, simply multiply the recipe by the number of servings.
For a twist, try flavored rums (coconut, pineapple, or spiced).
I use Master of Mixes Simple Syrup.
