1 cup ice cubes
1 1/2 ounces white rum
1/2 cup club soda

Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass.
Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice.
Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release more juice.
Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice.
Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the rest with club soda.
Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired.
Garnish with the remaining lime wedge and mint sprig.

Fresh mint is key for the authentic mojito experience.
