7 cups prepared limeade
6-8 lime wheels for garnish

The night before, combine Torani and ginger in a mixing cup and let sit covered overnight, 8-12 hours, at room temperature. Strain out the ginger and add the ginger infused Torani Coconut syrup to a 3 quart pitcher. Top with rum and limeade and stir well.

Try making your ice in a muffin pan, or silicone muffin pan for easy ice cube release. The larger ice cubes will melt more slowly, keeping your batched drink from getting diluted. You can even add sliced berries or limes to the ice cubes before freezing. If you’re using a metal muffin pan, remove it from the freezer 10-15 minutes ahead of time and let it sit on the counter so the cubes will release from the tray more easily.

Slice the mozzarella into 8 rounds. Make 6 sandwiches with the bread and mozzarella, dip each sandwich in egg mixture.
In a large skillet, lightly saute garlic in oil, then remove and discard garlic. Fry dipped sandwiches in the oil. When the sandwiches are browned, cut them into quarters on the diagonal and serve warm.
