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 the
lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass
almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the
ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir,
taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with
the remaining lime wedge.
