Pick the mint leaves off the stems and set a few nice ones aside for garnish. Wash the limes, cut one into wedges and halve the other for juice.
Divide the mint, lime wedges and sugar between two tall glasses. Gently muddle everything with a muddler or a spoon so the mint releases its aroma and the sugar begins to dissolve.
Squeeze the juice of half a lime into each glass and stir.
Fill the glasses almost to the top with crushed ice and pour in cold sparkling water, about 250 ml per serving. Stir gently, scooping from the bottom.
Garnish with the reserved mint leaves and serve right away, while the drink is cold.
