Mojito

Using the back of a wooden spoon, muddle 2 tablespoons roughly chopped mint leaves in the bottom of a 10-ounce cocktail glass. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice and 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar and stir until dissolved. Add 1 1/2 ounces white rum. Fill glass with crushed ice and add club soda. Stir. Garnish with fresh sugar cane, cut into 1/2-inch thick sticks.

Makes 1 serving.
