In a glass:
1/2 glass of mint (just the leaves)
1/2 lime cut into 4 wedges
2 teaspoons of sugar
a splash of brandy
Smash with a muddler until you can smell the mint and lime
Add:
2-3 oz of light rum
a splash of 7up
a splash of soda water (seltzer)
shake really well with ice (sugar has to dissolve)
You can use NutraSweet or equivalent instead of sugar - it dissolves better and you need less of it b/c it's sweeter.
