4.5/5 (3 reviews)

Duck Key remained uninhabited until the 1950s, when a man named Bryan W. Newkirk developed the island into one of the first planned communities in the Florida Keys. Although a salt works briefly operated in low-lying areas in the 1830s, the island was mostly swamp and mangroves when Newkirk brought it. Now, more than half a century later, 2 1/2 billion yards of fill, 4 miles of flow-through canals, and the vision of one man has turned Duck Key (mile marker 61) into one of the most desirable keys in the island chain.

Ingredients

Instructions

Place orange juice, lemon juice, sugar and crushed mint leaves in a large covered container. Stir to mix well. Refrigerate overnight.
In each of 6 large tulip glasses filled with ice, place 1 1/2 ounces rum, 6 ounces orange juice mixture, and a splash of seltzer. Stir to mix. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
NOTE: You can make this drink with vodka instead of rum, for an equally tasty but different libation.
