Notes
Use your favorite dark or gold rum to make this drink. The recipe was not developed with spiced rum in mind, although you could try it. Just keep in mind that it's generally much sweeter, and of course, the spices will impact the flavor of the finished cocktail.
Raw sugar has large crystals, some of which will remain after stirring. If you'd prefer no crystals, use a bar spoon to stir the the muddled limes, club soda, and sugar until better dissolved. Or you can make a simple syrup with equal parts raw sugar and water.
