8 mint leaves
1 oz white rum
1 oz simple syrup

Ice

Squeeze lime into glass, then cut into chunks and throw them into glass as well. Bruise the mint leaves by rubbing them a little then add mint leaves, simple syrup and rum, then stir or shake with ice in cocktail shaker. Pour into glass and add club soda for the fizzy. You might has well make enough for a pitcher because one is not enough.

Simple Syrup is just one part sugar to one part water, but you can also buy this at the grocery store, where it's usually called something like Bar Syrup or Sugar Water or something like that.
