Gluten-intolerant girlfriend would like to know, as if that is the full recipe, then it's fine; but there's always some nefarious grain product in many cocktails...

From what I know (and Ernesto can probably weigh in here) it is:
club soda
crushed ice
sugar syrup
lime juice
crushed fresh mint leaves
rum
I first had one at a trendy club downtown. It was freakin' delicious. They crusted the glass rim with sugar as well and plenty of ice and lots of mint leaves. Still the best one I've had. Have made them at home with mixed results, no pun intended.
As far as gin, I also like Bombay Sapphire. They have a very cool website, btw - http://www.bombaysapphire.com/. Each time I drink it, it reminds me of that Men At Work lyric - "Lying in a den in Bombay, with a slack jaw and not much to say..."
