INGREDIENTS

Mint Leaves
1/2 Lime, cut into wedges
1 1/2 Tbs. White Sugar
1 Cup Ice
1 1/2 oz. White Rum
1/2 Cup Club Soda

DIRECTIONS

Place Mint and 1 lime wedge into a glass and muddle with a muddler. (This releases the oils.)
Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar and muddle some more.
Add ice.
Pour rum over ice.
Add club soda.  
Stir until the sugar has dissolved.  Garnish with lime wedge and a fresh sprig of mint.

NOTE: If you omit the rum, this makes for a nice "virgin" drink for the kiddies or for those who don't drink alcohol.
