• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• Big handful of fresh mint, plus more for garnish
• Soda water
• 2 pieces fresh sugarcane stalks (optional)

In a martini shaker or wide glass, combine the lime, sugar and mint. Using a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon, smash and crush everything together to release the oils and juice from the lime rind and mint leaves. When you have some nice juice in there and the sugar begins to dissolve, stir it around to combine. Fill 2 glasses with ice, divide the mixture between the glasses, and top off with some soda. Garnish with a couple of mint leaves. For extra pizazz, stick a piece of sugarcane in the glass to use as a stirrer.
