In a cocktail glass, gently muddle lime juice, sugar, and fresh mint leaves until the mint releases its aroma and breaks down slightly, approximately 1 minute. Fill the glass generously with ice cubes. Pour in the rum and top with chilled soda water. To properly mix, carefully pour the ingredients back and forth between the glass and a separate glass. Garnish with a lime wedge and savor immediately.
