INSTRUCTIONS:
In a highball glass, add the sugar, sugar cane to taste and lime juice. Gently stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the mint leaves to the bottom of the glass. Gently muddle the mint leaves with a muddler until the mint leaves release their oils (you’ll smell it!).
Pour in the white rum and stir to combine with the lime, sugar, and mint.
Fill the glass with ice then top off the drink with club soda.
Garnish with mint sprigs and lime wedges/slices.
