Lime juice - add to bottom of glass.
simple syrup - 1 cup brown sugar, 2 cups water and boil. add this to bottom of glass.

take wooden spoon and smash up the mixture in bottom of glass to break up the mint.

Add crushed ice filling the glass.
Add dark rum
Add club soda

mix

top off with a slice of lime and mint leaves.

Empty glass into mouth

I like mine with brown sugar and dark rum.

Sorry no measurements but I make them by taste and never really measured out.
