you will need:

·      1 can coconut milk

·      ½ can rum

·      4 tablespoons palm sugar (agave nectar or brown sugar to taste, alternatively)

·      1 small key lime, quartered (1 small regular lime, alternatively)

·      1 small handful basil leaves

·      ice

·      mint garnish

·      lime slices for garnish

combine basil, lime, and palm sugar.  grind in blender until lime is ground fine, adding coconut milk a few ounces at a time to facilitate fine ground.  add remaining coconut milk, rum,  and blend well.  transfer to serving pitcher.  for each serving, blend 1 cup drink mix with ice, adding up to two cups, 1 cup at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.  bruise mint by rolling between your palms, and use for garnish alongside slice of lime.  slip in a straw, sit back, and say ahhhhhhhhhh.
