Use Disk Utility to find out the disk identifier (select the mounted
volume -- *not* the disk it resides on -- and click the "Info" button)
and then do something like this:

/usr/sbin/diskutil mount /dev/disk1s5

(Substitute the name of your disk for "disk1s5")

You can stick it into an AppleScript and have a clickable executable,
too:

try
do shell script "/usr/sbin/diskutil mount /dev/disk1s5"
end try

Disk Utility -> select the volume, click "mount".

I have one like that. I reach behind it and pull the power plug,
then plug it back in. That's only marginally more difficult than
flipping a switch off and on.

Yikes. I hope you do that *after* unmounting it...

Well, yes. The OP's problem was how to re-mount a drive that has
been unmounted (see Subject line).
