Notes

Ingredients for a batch of 8:

15-25 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
2 cups dark rum
¾ cup lime juice
6 cups Coca-Cola (about 4 regular, 12-ounce cans or ¾ of a regular, 2 liter bottle)
2-3 large pinches of edible black glitter (optional)

Instructions for a batch of 8:

Muddle the mint in a large pitcher or punch bowl with a long, wooden spoon.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir very well, moving the spoon up and down to evenly distribute.
Chill and then serve over ice and with fresh mint for garnish. (Avoid adding ice directly to the pitcher so as not to dilute the drink.)

Note for big batches: You may also need to stir from time to time if edible glitter settles to the bottom.
