2 or 3 fresh mint leaves and 1 sprig of mint, for garnish
1 teaspoon sugar
Juice of 1/2 lime
Crushed ice
1 1/2 ounces white rum
Club soda or seltzer water

PREPARATION:

Place mint leaves and sugar in a highball glass. Crush leaves lightly with a spoon. Add  lime juice and stir. Add ice and rum, then top off the drink with club soda or seltzer water. Stir again, garnish with the sprig of mint, and serve.
